Abstract

A process information generating section produces a communication process information necessary for a communication process. A status predicting section receives a statistically-processed status information from another node when the status of this another node has changed, and produces a prediction information predictive of the statuses of all other nodes, excluding this local node, based on the status information. A routing control section performs control to select a communications path which minimizes a network load, based on the communication process information generated by the process information generating section and the prediction information obtained by a status predicting section.
