<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication system that implements a reduced processing load. <P>SOLUTION: A system 100 configures a plurality of VLANs via a first communication device 110 and a second communication device 120. The first communication device acquires frame number information indicating the number of frames transmitted on a VLAN. The second communication device acquires frame number information indicating the number of frames received on a VLAN. Either communication device establishes a communication session to the other communication device on one (representative VLAN) of the plurality of VLANs, and transmits via the communication session a maintenance frame containing flow identification information identifying a VLAN and the frame number information acquired about the VLAN. The other communication device calculates a frame loss on the VLAN on the basis of the frame number information contained in the received maintenance frame and the frame number information acquired about the VLAN corresponding to the maintenance frame. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
