A transmission apparatus transmits a plurality of second packets obtained from a plurality of first packets, wherein each of the plurality of first packets includes a header including a first field, and a payload, and includes first information stored in the first field, and wherein each of the plurality of second packets includes second information in the first field instead of the first information, and includes the first information inserted in the payload. A reception apparatus receives the plurality of second packets, deletes the first information from the payload of the received second packet and obtains data included in the payload of the received packet when third information stored in a memory is stored in the second field of a packet received by the reception unit.

Communication apparatus and communication control apparatus

A route control device controls a transfer destination in a plurality of transfer devices that are included in a network and that transfer packets flowing between a first information processing device and a second information processing device. The route control device comprises a processor. The processor detects that a session is to be newly established, on the basis of a packet of a protocol that controls establishment of a session between the first information processing device and the second information processing device, selects a route with a light load from among a plurality of routes connecting the first information processing device and the second information processing device, and makes a transfer device on a selected route establish a selected route.

Route control device, system and route control method

A packet transfer system includes a transmitter apparatus, a processing apparatus, a first transfer apparatus and a second transfer apparatus. The transmitter apparatus transmits a data packet including data and quality information associated with a transfer rate of the data. The first transfer apparatus performs a transfer process of the data packet received from the transmitter apparatus. The second transfer apparatus is connected to the first transfer apparatus through first and second routes, and transfers a data packet received from the first transfer apparatus. The first route is used for transferring a data packet including first quality information associated with a first transfer rate. The second route is used for transferring a data packet including second quality information associated with a second transfer rate. The second transfer apparatus releases the first route when reception of a data packet including the first quality information has been terminated.

Packet transfer system and packet transfer method

A management system includes an information processing apparatus; a management apparatus; and a load balancing apparatus. And the management apparatus specifies a first processing entity that relates to a first application program whose performance is not guaranteed, upon detecting that a value related to a load of a second processing entity that relates to a second application program whose performance is guaranteed is equal to or greater than a first predetermined threshold, and requests the information processing apparatus to stop the first processing entity, and the information processing apparatus requests the load balancing apparatus to stop allocating processing to the first processing entity, stops the first processing entity upon detecting that a value related to a load of the first processing entity is equal to or less than a second predetermined threshold, and causes a third processing entity to start processing for the second application program.

Management system and method for execution of virtual machines

In this method, a first information processing apparatus in a first system identifies a second system that performs a first processing on behalf of the first system when an abnormality occurs in the first system, and transmits a first request that includes data concerning resources used to perform the first processing to a second information processing apparatus in the second system. Upon detecting an abnormality in the second system, the first information processing apparatus identifies a third system other than the second system, transmits a second request that includes data concerning resources used to perform the first processing to a third information processing apparatus in the third system, and transmits a third request to release resources secured for the first system to the second information processing apparatus in the second system, upon detecting return of the second system.

Redundancy processing method and system, and information processing apparatus thereof

In an inherited communication management apparatus, a storage unit stores viewing information relating to the content viewing state of a user of a terminal. On a request from the user of the terminal for content viewing, a requesting unit requests another inherited communication management apparatus to examine whether or not the other inherited communication management apparatus stores viewing information including information relating to interruption of the content viewing by the user. A receiving unit receives a result of the examination requested by the requesting unit. When the examination result received by the receiving unit includes the viewing information including information relating to the interruption of the content viewing, a transmitting unit transmits information relating to interrupted content based on the viewing information to the terminal of the user that has requested the content viewing.

Inherited communication management apparatus and method of managing inherited communication

The second content provision system determines, in response to a request by a user from a second terminal belonging to a second network, a second content being a same content as a first content, which is provided to the first terminal belonging to a first network or an alternative content for the first content and matching rights of the user. The second content is provided from the second network to the second terminal and can be used by the second terminal. The second content is determined by using content information specifying the first content which is in-use or which the use has interrupted and ownership information indicating the rights of the user and the content provision system acquires the content information and the ownership information from the first content provision system in response to the request from the second terminal.
