Abstract

An object of the present disclosure is to enable efficient route assignment that guarantees a communication quality for each path between end terminals even if a state of a communication network varies. The present disclosure is a network controller apparatus connected to a communication network that performs data communication between end terminals by using a plurality of paths. The network controller apparatus stores log information about a communication state for each path collected from the communication network, determines whether there is a path with a deteriorated communication quality on the basis of the log information, if there is a deteriorated path, determines whether there is a path in which a communication quality between end terminals utilizing the deteriorated path can be guaranteed, from among other paths available to the end terminals utilizing the deteriorated path, and if the communication quality cannot be guaranteed, calculates a new route in which the communication quality between the end terminals utilizing the deteriorated path can be guaranteed, and switches the deteriorated path to a path on the new route.
