Abstract

A control device controls two terminating devices virtually directly connected to each other on a network, and includes a memory, an acquisition unit, a generation unit, and a transmission unit. The memory stores address information of each of the terminating devices belonging to mutually different segments on the network. The acquisition unit acquires, from the each of the terminating devices, information of a communication device residing in the segment to which the each of the terminating devices belongs. The generation unit generates, with the address information of the each of the terminating devices stored in the memory and the acquired information of the communication device residing in the segment, a processing rule to be used by the each of the terminating devices to perform a process of transferring input information. The transmission unit transmits the processing rule generated by the generation unit to the each of the terminating devices.
