Abstract
A system permitting alteration of the information processing position, where an existing information system is used, while minimizing alterations in configuration or the like, is to be provided. Intelligent nodes each having an information processing section and any desired address altering section are arranged on boundaries of a network where packets are likely to pass. This node has a flow table for recognizing as a flow a group of packets transmitted from each user's terminal, a flow status table for determining the connection state and the next destination address or the final destination address of each flow, and a module to observe the loaded state of its own information processing function. It rewrites the destination address of any flow not in a connection-established state in the flow status table to a less loaded one out of its own information processing function section or external information processing apparatus.
