Abstract
An estimating device includes a collecting unit for collecting flow quality information including a transmitter and receiver address, and flow communication quality; a collecting unit for collecting structure information; a table managing unit and a table storage unit for finding, based on the collected flow quality information of the network, a link that the flow goes through, judging occurrence of quality deterioration in the flow, and managing a result thereof in a table; and a estimating unit for outputting, when there is quality deterioration in one or more flow, a subset including the link that an arbitrary flow with quality deterioration goes through among the subset of the set of links that the set of the arbitrary flows with the quality deterioration go through, which also has the minimum number of elements, as a quality deteriorated area in the table managed by the flow-quality/via-link table managing unit.
