According to an aspect of the present invention, in a virtual space unit area, a message is distributed among computers using a physical topology based on a physical network. This avoids delaying operations in a computer which are related to those in another computer on a virtual space and taking a roundabout route on the physical network for distribution. On the other hand, outside the virtual space unit area, a message is distributed among computers using a virtual topology based on a virtual space. Consequently, the computers forming the physical topology can be limited to those present in the virtual space unit area. It is thus possible to reduce the amount of communication required to measure physical network distances.
