<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically optimize a network topology according to the communication form of each node in a network for allowing each node to perform communication, based on connection established to adjacent nodes. <P>SOLUTION: Path information is acquired in a message transferred by an own node, and the network topology, where a path is summarized optimally, is determined based on the acquired passing path information. In this case, the path is set to be a redundant path in the transfer path of all messages passing through the own node and contains an adjacent node that is not a transmission destination, and the network topology is determined so that the redundant path is eliminated. The adjacent node to which the own node should be connected is changed according to the determined network topology. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
