A requested communication quality estimation device estimating a requested communication quality for a macroflow, which is a set of microflows, includes a first estimation unit configured to estimate a requested communication quality for each of a plurality of microflows constituting a macroflow, and a second estimation unit configured to estimate a requested communication quality for the macroflow based on the requested communication quality for each of the plurality of microflows which is obtained by the first estimation unit.

Required communication quality estimation apparatus, required communication quality estimation method and program

An IP address assigning device can reduce registration information required for controlling traffic by calculating, for traffic between a plurality of user terminals and a plurality of services in a past period, a statistic of the traffic for each of a plurality of combinations of a user terminal, a service, and a time period, and extracting a plurality of patterns relating to the traffic based on a plurality of the statistics; classifying the plurality of user terminals into a plurality of groups based on the patterns; and assigning IP addresses belonging to a subnetwork to corresponding ones of the plurality of user terminals for each of the plurality of groups.

IP address assignment apparatus, IP address assignment method and program

A prediction apparatus includes, a first calculation unit configured to calculate, for traffic in a past time period between a plurality of users and a plurality of services, statistics of the traffic in units of combinations of the users, the services, and time zones, an extraction unit configured to extract, based on the statistics, a plurality of patterns from the traffic, a classification unit configured to classify, by pattern, at least one of each user or each service into groups, a second calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the classification result from the classification unit and the statistics, per-time-zone statistics for each group, and a third calculation unit configured to apply a prediction technique to the per-time-zone statistics for each group, to calculate, for each group, a prediction value of the statistics for a time period later than the past time period, resulting improved accuracy of traffic prediction.

Prediction apparatus, prediction method and program

An access source classification apparatus has: a first calculation unit that calculates a statistic related to access to each service by each access source based on a set of access logs indicating access to any service of a plurality of services by any access source of a plurality of access sources; an extraction unit that, for each of the services, calculates an index value indicating distribution of access status to the service for each of the access sources based on the access logs related to the service, and extracts some services based on the index value; a second calculation unit that calculates relevance between each access source and each service extracted by the extraction unit by applying a clustering approach to the statistic; and a classification unit that classifies an access source to any service extracted by the extraction unit into any of groups each including one or more access sources based on the relevance, thereby assisting improvement of efficiency in identifying the terminal type of an access source to a service.
