<p>An IOP (14) includes a path-state determining unit (54) and a path selecting unit (55). The path-state determining unit (54) determines whether there is any path which is neither in process of data transmission nor in a prohibition period in which data transmission is prohibited for a predetermined time since the last data transmission has been completed out of multiple paths connecting a device to a communication partner device. When the path-state determining unit (54) determines that there is no path which is neither in process of data transmission nor in the prohibition period, the path selecting unit (55) selects a path which completes data transmission but does not pass through the prohibition period as a path for data transmission.</p> |
