Abstract
A passage channel is calculated by taking into account a plurality of requirements having different importance degrees. A channel calculation unit () of a transport control server () calculates a plurality of passage channel candidates with respect to a passage setting request wherein an active passage candidate and a standby passage candidate are paired in the passage channel candidate; and calculates the occurrence number of phenomena that violate a predetermined requirement relating an operation of the active passage and the standby passage, or a value of a network element for determining whether the requirement is violated, with respect to each passage channel candidate. A cost calculation unit () calculates the cost of a passage channel from the calculated number of occurrence, network element value, and a predetermined cost calculation coefficient corresponding to the requirement. A GUI control unit (display control unit)displays identification information of the passage channel candidate, the number of occurrences or the network element value, and the cost, as a list on, for example, a management terminal.
