Abstract
A resource allocation device is provided that, responsive to a use request for resources of a network, the use request having a pair of nodes as terminal points designated among a plurality of nodes constituting the network, searches for one or more candidate paths between the terminal points, with which amounts of the resources related to the use request can be allocated, in a state where the resources that have been allocated to one or more other use requests are set aside from the network. The device calculates, for each of the one or more searched-for-candidate paths, in a state where the resources are allocated to the candidate path, a maximum number of paths that can be allocated between the terminal points of a virtual path related to the service, and selects the candidate path with which a sum total of the maximum numbers of paths becomes greatest.
