COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

Instead of causing a control apparatus to grasp and analyze a communication amount per processing rule of a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus executes a detailed control operation based on the communication amount. A communication apparatus, includes: a packet processing unit that processes an incoming packet based on a processing rule corresponding to the incoming packet among a plurality of processing rules set from a control apparatus; a statistical value measurement unit that measures a statistical value obtained from a processing amount corresponding to each of the plurality of processing rules; and a processing rule management unit that determines whether or not each of the processing rules is effective based on the statistical value.
