Abstract
An ARP server which can inform a calling terminal of an address suitable for an intended communication with a receiving terminal among a plurality of addresses usable for that purpose. The ARP server is equipped with an ATMARP table consisting of a plurality of unit tables each of which correlates an IP address and a plurality of ATM addresses. When receiving an inquiry about an ATM address corresponding to a certain IP address, the ARP server checks free bandwidths of circuits relating to respective ATM addresses in a unit table that corresponds to the IP address of interest, and informs the terminal that issued the inquiry of an ATM address with the largest free bandwidth.
