Abstract
From an observed packet, the hop number, which is the number of nodes that the packet has passed through, and a bottleneck bandwidth, which is a bottleneck for transmitting the packet, are determined so as to detect loss failures. Thereby, the subnet that transmitted the observed packet is located as a node in a topology tree on the basis of the determined hop count and bottleneck bandwidth. When a loss failure, by which the packet is lost, is detected, subnets that are inappropriately arranged are extracted from the arrangement in the topology tree of the loss-failure-detected subnet, and the arrangement of the extracted subnets is modified in order to resolve the inappropriateness.
