Abstract
An analysis server acquires observation information including a transmission source IP address, a transmission source MAC address, a transmission destination IP address, and a transmission destination MAC address in communication from each of sensing devices. The analysis server estimates a topology of a network on the basis of the acquired observation information. On the basis of the estimated topology, an analysis server creates a monitoring list indicating communication that is a target for transmission of the observation information for each sensing device such that any one sensing device on a path of the communication transmits the observation information of the communication for each piece of communication in the network, and transmits the monitoring list to the sensing device. Thereafter, each sensing device transmits the observation information of the communication to the analysis server on the basis of the monitoring list.
