Abstract
According to an embodiment, a communication device includes a connection establishment unit, a forwarder, and a generator. The connection establishment unit is configured to receive, from a terminal device, a connection request containing identification information of the terminal device, establish a communication connection with the terminal device, and store the identification information and terminal connection information. The forwarder is configured to receive, from a first terminal device, a message to be transmitted from the first terminal device to a second terminal device, and forward the message to the second terminal device, based on forwarding information containing the terminal connection information corresponding to the identification information of the first terminal device, and the terminal connection information corresponding to the identification information of the second terminal device. The generator is configured to generate the forwarding information, based on a request from the forwarder or the connection establishment unit.
