Relay device selection device, transmission system, and program for relay device selection device

摘要

A selection device 80 outputs domain information that indicates a management system 50 capable of executing control associated with the start of communication using a selected relay device 30. Consequently, the control associated with the start of communication using the selected relay device 30 can be executed by any of the management systems 50 indicated by the domain information. That is, a load based on the control of the start of communication can be dispersed into a plurality of management systems 50, and thus there is an effect of reducing a load to the management systems 50.

主权项

1. A relay device selection device for selecting a relay device to relay information transmitted/received between first and second transmission terminals, comprising:
a memory to store domain information identifying a transmission management system capable of executing control associated with a start of communication using the relay device, for each of candidate relay devices; and processing circuitry configured to
select at least one relay device from among the candidate relay devices based on information of the first and second terminals stored in the memory;extract, from the memory, the domain information identifying a transmission management system capable of executing the control associated with the start of communication using the selected relay device; andoutput the extracted domain information, the extracted domain information being associated with information of the selected relay device in the memory.
