Abstract
The inside of a managed side device managed by a manager of a managing device has a tree-structure consisting of points # to # of the first to third layers. When a failure occurs, at the point # of the bottom layer, loss priority is allocated to a PDU and is transmitted to the point # in a higher order. When the number of PDUs is greater than the threshold of the number of alarms, at the point # a buffer is prevented from overflowing by instructing a lower order point not to transmit a PDU, or by eliminating PDUs with loss priority lower than the threshold of loss priority. By executing these processes at each point, congestion due to the concentration of PDUs can be locally processed.
