Abstract

Provided is a home network system in which an appropriate mobility anchor is allocated for a mobile node and the number of mobility anchors can be reduced. A subscriber information accumulation server (14) accumulates first communication load prediction data for each time of a mobile node (32). An anchor information accumulation server (15) accumulates second communication load prediction load for each time of each mobility anchor (11). When “a mobility anchor allocation request” is transmitted from the mobile node (32) to an anchor allocation server (13), the anchor allocation server (13) adds the first communication load prediction data and the second communication load prediction load data so as to obtain third communication load prediction data. Among a plurality of mobility anchors (11), a mobility anchor in which the third communication load prediction data is not greater than the load upper limit value at all the times and the maximum value of the second communication load prediction data is minimum is selected and allocated.
