Abstract
A network connection control system is provided with: a relay device that relays communication in a communication network; and a communication terminal that performs communication via the relay device. The relay device has a network information transmission section, which is information about the communication network. The communication terminal has: a lower communication section that performs communication via the relay device; a network information receiving section that receives the network information via the lower communication section; a higher communication section that performs inter-higher-section communication via the lower communication section, with another higher communication section in another communication terminal; a judgment result acquisition section that acquires a judgment result based on the received network information, about whether or not to permit the inter-higher-section communication; and a communication control section that inhibits the inter-higher-section communication until a judgment result that the inter-higher-section communication is to be permitted is acquired.
