The present invention is contrived to implement more granular traffic control and improve a traffic control method. A traffic control method disclosed herein performs the following: with respect to a plurality of terminals that connect to a network and perform communication via a communication link, analyzing signaling during a session performed by each terminal from a time when a terminal initially connects to the network, thereby associating a terminal, an application, and signaling required for the application; generating control information including identifiers for implementing traffic control on a per-signaling basis, based on preconfigured information on an object that should be under traffic control and the analysis results; assigning to a received packet an identifier on a per-signaling basis based on the control information; and referring to the identifiers and the control information and performing a specified traffic control action on signaling included in the packet. |

1. A traffic control apparatus comprising:
a packet analysis unit that analyzes a packet transmitted over a communication link; a packet control unit that performs packet processing or packet output control; and a traffic management unit that manages control information for controlling traffic, wherein, with respect to a plurality of terminals that connect to a network and perform communication via the communication link, the packet analysis unit analyzes signaling during a session performed by each terminal from a time when a terminal initially connects to the network, thereby associating a terminal, an application, and signaling required for the application, and transmits analysis results to the traffic management unit, wherein the traffic management unit generates control information including identifiers for implementing traffic control on a per-signaling basis, based on preconfigured information on an object that should be under traffic control and the analysis results, wherein the packet analysis unit assigns to a received packet an identifier on a per-signaling basis based on the control information and transmits the packet to the packet control unit, and wherein the packet control unit refers to the identifiers and the control information and performs a specified traffic control action on signaling included in the packet. |
