<p>Multicast packet transfer paths are set for output ports that are designated, from among a plurality of output ports associated with a plurality of input ports, as output ports used for outputting multicast packets. Further, the number of path setting completion processes, which is the number of processes in each of which a transfer path setting is completed, is counted, and it is determined whether the counted number of path setting completion processes is identical with a number of processes required to execute a multicast communication. If so, then it is determined that transfer path settings for the multicast communication have been completed.</p> |
