Network connection apparatus, program, and method
First Claim
1. A network connection apparatus which connects a plurality of networks to each other and conducts data transfer between the networks by using previously given routing information, the network connection apparatus comprising:
- a request acceptance unit which accepts a assignment request of network identification information from a different network connection apparatus connected to the network;
an assigning unit which assigns the network identification information to the different network connection apparatus on the basis of the assignment request;
a noticing unit which notifies the different network connection apparatus of the assigned network identification information;
a generating unit which generates routing information on the basis of the assigned network identification information and host identification information of the different network connection apparatus; and
a transmitting unit which transmits the generated routing information to a further different network connection apparatus other than the different network connection apparatus, connected to at least one of the networks.
