Abstract
A communication apparatus 1 is provided with a first communication interface 11, second communication interfaces 12 connected to a plurality of access routers 3 connected to an Internet 6, and a route determination unit which, for a packet being communicated from the first communication interface 11 to the second communication interfaces 12, determines the second communication interface 12 in accordance with an elapsed time since connecting start of a connection with a destination of the packet. Connections having started within a predetermined time are treated as connections constituting one user session. Therefore, connections constituting the same user session can be communicated via the same access router without the need of analyzing a protocol of a layer.
