- multicast communication There is a technique called multicast communication that transmits packets to a plurality of terminals belonging to a predetermined group in a computer network.
- a multicast address including an identifier of a group to which a plurality of terminals that are packet destinations belongs is used.
- a communication device When a communication device (router or the like) receives a multicast packet, it forwards the packet to terminals belonging to a group corresponding to the multicast packet.
- a communication device (such as a router) is required to manage a group identifier and a transfer destination of a packet corresponding to the identifier in order to enable multicast communication. Since the terminals belonging to the group are dynamically changed, the communication device is required to regularly manage the group identifier and the transfer destination corresponding to the identifier.

- the relay station described in Patent Document 1 manages a group for multicast communication and destination addresses of terminals belonging to the group. When performing relay communication, the relay station transmits a packet by unicast communication to the destination address of each terminal belonging to the group. Since a packet is transmitted by a plurality of unicast communications to the destination address of each terminal, the technique described in Patent Document 1 is applied to a network in which devices that do not have a function for executing multicast communications exist. As a result, pseudo-multicast communication is possible in the network.
- Patent Document 2 discloses multicasting in a wide area Ethernet (registered trademark) composed of a core device that is a switch or a router and a plurality of edge devices that are switches or routers that are directly or indirectly connected to the core device. A technique for reducing the load on processing is described. In the technique described in Patent Document 2, when the load on the core device is high, in order to reduce the load on the core device, the multicast transmission source edge device transmits the multicast frame to the necessary transmission destination edge device instead of multicast. Send as number of unicasts.

And manage. Since the table is managed in a distributed manner, the relay stations need to communicate with each other to exchange table information. Therefore, the management cost for each relay station to manage the multicast communication table in a distributed manner becomes a problem.

- Each of the communication terminals belonging to the group corresponding to the network includes a proxy server that transmits a unicast packet, and the control device performs packet transfer by the network so that the multicast packet transmitted by the communication terminal is transferred to the proxy server. It is characterized by controlling.
- the control device is a control device in a communication system in which a plurality of communication terminals communicate via a network, and a multicast packet transmitted by the communication terminal is transmitted to each communication terminal belonging to a group corresponding to the multicast packet. It is characterized in that packet transfer by the network is controlled so as to be transferred to a proxy server that transmits unicast packets.
- a communication control method is a communication control method in a communication system in which a plurality of communication terminals communicate via a network, and the control device transfers a multicast packet transmitted from the communication terminal to a proxy server.
- the packet transfer by the network is controlled, and the proxy server receives the multicast packet transmitted from the communication terminal, and transmits the unicast packet to each of the communication terminals belonging to the group corresponding to the multicast packet. .
- the transfer control method according to the present invention is a transfer control method in a control device applied to a communication system in which a plurality of communication terminals communicate via a network, and a multicast packet transmitted by the communication terminal corresponds to the multicast packet. Packet transfer by the network is controlled so as to be transferred to a proxy server that transmits a unicast packet to each of the communication terminals belonging to the group.

It is characterized in that a process for controlling packet transfer by the network is executed so as to be transferred to a proxy server that transmits a unicast packet to each communication terminal.
