  • delivering flow information including at least address information and preference information on a network to a communication managing portion by an application in the plurality of communication terminals;

    transmitting communication medium information included in the communication terminal to a counterpart communication terminal based on the flow information by the communication managing portion of each of the communication terminals;

    generating path information from the communication medium information included in the transmission source communication terminal and the communication medium information included in the counterpart communication terminal and transmitting the path information to the transmission source communication terminal by the communication managing portion of the counterpart communication terminal;

    generating combinations for mapping flows to paths from the flow information and the path information included in each terminal and transmitting a score of each combination by the communication managing portion of each of the communication terminals; and

    performing setting such that the communication managing portion of each of the plurality of the communication terminals selects a combination having the higher score including the own upstream preference information to use a path for each data flow to enable a path to be selected for each flow.
