Abstract
A communication terminal which sends a frame to another terminal when performing a load distribution process using load distribution information appended to a frame that is sent/received between terminals within a communication network, the communication terminal comprises: a communication control part that specifies a sending port used for sending the frame; a load distribution information originating side designation part that stores load distribution structuring information, which is to be appended to the frame and used for generating the load distribution information, by relating to a sending port; a load distribution information transfer processing part that, when the sending port is specified, retrieves the load distribution structuring information corresponding to the determined sending port from the load distribution information originating side designation part; a send information setting part that structures the frame based on the load distribution structuring information and a load distribution information setting format; and a send frame processing part that sends out the structured frame from the sending port.
