Abstract
In order to make it possible for an upper layer to receive the supply of a desired resource from a lower layer, this network control device is provided with: a database that receives a request for connection between node ports included in an upper layer network; and a hierarchical control unit that determines a link for connection between ports via a lower layer network and the performance of the link and associates and retains the results. The database receives a flow between nodes included in the upper layer network, said flow being selected in accordance with the link and the performance. The hierarchical control unit sets a flow corresponding to the link in the lower layer network when the link is included in the path of the flow.
