Abstract
A control apparatus configured to allocate a virtual network for providing a network service on a physical network includes: acquisition means for acquiring information indicating an outside temperature of each node included in the physical network, physical resource information of the physical network, information indicating a predicted traffic amount of the physical network, and an allocation request for the virtual network; and calculation means for calculating an optimal allocation of the virtual network using a target function defined using a unit cost defined for each region and for each time slot and a power consumption model taking into consideration the outside temperature and a load rate calculated based on the predicted traffic amount, and a restrictive condition obtained based on the physical resource information and the allocation request.
