PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a mechanism for transferring a processor control of a plurality of network connections between two component devices of a computerization system such as a host CPU and NIC. SOLUTION: In one mode of this invention, each of two or more network communications has a different condition object in a high order layer of a network-protocol stack, and can have a common condition object in a lower layer (for example a framing layer) of the network-protocol stack. This invention provides offload of the processor control of a plurality of network communications containing a long life and short life connection at once partly by the similarity in the condition of a lower software layer. Furthermore, this invention provides a solution means against a receive data packet capable of negotiating with an alternative peripheral device to offload the network communication to the alternative peripheral device when the failover event occurs and transmitting to one or a plurality of VLANs.
