CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18023056 Titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a control device that is used in software defined networking (SDN) to relay packets. The control device receives requests from an information processing device and transmits them to the relay device. If the processing load of the control device is below a certain threshold, it sequentially transmits each request and response. However, if the processing load exceeds the threshold, it collects multiple requests and responses and transmits them together.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control device includes a control unit configured to transmit a request received from an information processing device performing setting on a relay device relaying a packet in software defined networking (SDN) to the relay device. The control unit sequentially transmits each request from the information processing device to the relay device and sequentially transmits each response from the relay device in response to each of the requests to the information processing device when a processing load of the control device is equal to or less than a threshold, and transmits a request in which a plurality of requests from the information processing device are collected to the relay device and transmits a response in which responses to the plurality of requests are collected to the information processing device when the processing load of the control device is not equal to or less than the threshold.
