Abstract
Highly flexible trunking is actualized by using a switching hub without a trunking function. A computer generates a distribution algorithm notification packet including physical addresses of communication interfaces and a distribution algorithm used for distributing data sent from a computer at the other end to the computer among the communication interfaces (step S) and sends the distribution algorithm notification packet to the computer at the other end (step S). The computer at the other end determines a communication interface which is a destination of send data to be sent to the computer in accordance with the distribution algorithm about which the computer at the other end was informed, designates a physical address of the determined communication interface as a destination, and sends the send data.
