Communication processing device, communication processing method, and program

摘要

A communication processing device including: a storage section configured to store a policy table associating an identifier identifying a communication unit with an identifier of a policy applied to the communication unit and a priority; an obtaining section configured to refer to the policy table and obtain the identifier of the policy and the priority, the identifier of the policy and the priority being associated with the identifier of the communication unit, at a time of protocol processing of the communication unit; a policy applying section configured to group one or more communication units associated with an identifier of an identical policy, and apply the identical policy to the grouped one or more communication units; and a band control section configured to perform band control on a basis of the priority for each communication unit.

1. A communication processing device comprising:
a memory device storage section configured to store a policy table having a plurality of entries, where each entry associates: (i) a communication unit identifier that identifies one of a plurality of communication units of the communication device, each of the plurality of communication units employing one of a plurality of communication protocols; (ii) a policy identifier, which defines an upper bandwidth usage limit and a lower bandwidth usage limit within which the given communication unit should operate; and (iii) a priority indicator, which defines priorities among the plurality of communication units as to usage of a communication network over which the communication processing device communicates data; an obtaining circuit configured to refer to the policy table and obtain the communication unit identifiers, the policy identifiers and the priority identifiers for each entry of the policy table, where the entries of the policy table are made at a respective times of protocol processing of the communication units; a policy applying circuit, in communication with the obtaining circuit, configured to group communication units having identical policy identifiers, and to apply a respective identical policy to resultant groups of communication units; and a band control circuit executing an algorithm configured to allocate a bandwidth of the communication network to the communications units having identical policy identifiers with preference to those having higher priority identifiers.
