The server device decides, when virtual communication function groups are arranged in a plurality of stages in a virtual area, a virtual distributed function that is to be arranged in the previous stage of the virtual communication function group that is in a first stage of the plurality of stages. The server device decides a communication path based on a load from the virtual distributed function to each of the virtual communication functions in a terminal virtual communication function group from among the plurality stages of the virtual communication function groups. The server device sets the decided communication path to the virtual distributed function and each of the virtual communication functions arranged in the virtual area.
