<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To raise the possibility of relaying the communication flow of a terminal in a local area network by a more suitable router out of routers in the local area network. <P>SOLUTION: A router in an LAN 100 transfers relay requests of communication flow according to the priority on an order table. When relay of communication flow can be received with no problem, each router permits relay and ends relay request processing. When relay is not permitted, the order table is not updated if a decision is made that the communication flow is permitted, but the order table is updated to exclude its own router if a decision is made that the communication flow is not permitted and the updated order table is transmitted to other router. After the relay request of communication flow is transferred entirely to a plurality of routers, the first router receiving the request twice among routers described on the order table performs relay of the communication flow. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
