PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine an efficient round way of token when a preferential node exists in a network, where each node is in a point-to-point connection for performing transmission control by a token passing method. SOLUTION: Connection information 206 is one for defining the connection relation between a plurality of slave nodes 300 and a master node 200 and which slave node 300 is preferred. When a slave node 300 (hereafter, to be referred to as "slave node") connected to the main node 200 via a preferential node exists; and an itinerant route producing unit 203 allows tokens to round for a child node next to the preferential node and thereafter produces, as an round way, a route on which tokens round for the remaining slave nodes 300. Then, the round way producing unit 203 outputs, as round way information 202, the information which defines the produced round way. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
