Abstract
A transfer device according to the present invention is a switching device that is one of transfer devices forming a network, and includes: a link state database that holds topology information of the network, and priority of the transfer device and priorities of other transfer devices forming the network to be used in path computation; a shortest path calculating unit that calculates a shortest path from a first switching device to a second switching device among the transfer devices forming the network on the basis of the topology information; and a priority adjusting unit that adjusts the priority of the transfer device on the basis of the shortest path calculated by the shortest path calculating unit and the priority of the transfer device and the priorities of the other transfer devices, wherein the priority adjusting unit adjusts the priority of the transfer device so that the number of overlaps with priority of another transfer device that is included with the transfer device in a shortest path from one start point to one destination and at the same distance from the start point as the transfer device is reduced.
