<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select communication equipment of a connection destination in a P2P network which impose little burden on a user and can suppress a division probability and improve restoration probability from division. <P>SOLUTION: A peer detection function part 111 broadcasts a peer detection message through a transfer network 2 to thereby find all communication equipment in the P2P network, and the number of connections research function part 112 transmits the number of connections research request message to each found communication equipment through the transfer network 2. Thus, information on the number of connections of each communication network is acquired, and a connection destination peer selection function part 113 compares the number of connections among respective communication equipment and selects communication equipment with a small number of connections as communication equipment of a connection destination. Thus, the user does not have to select a peer of the connection destination manually, and the number of connections of respective peers is made equal, so that a division probability can be suppressed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
