Abstract
A control device includes a control unit configured to transmit a request received from an information processing device performing setting on a relay device relaying a packet in software defined networking (SDN) to the relay device. The control unit sequentially transmits each request from the information processing device to the relay device and sequentially transmits each response from the relay device in response to each of the requests to the information processing device when a processing load of the control device is equal to or less than a threshold, and transmits a request in which a plurality of requests from the information processing device are collected to the relay device and transmits a response in which responses to the plurality of requests are collected to the information processing device when the processing load of the control device is not equal to or less than the threshold.
