20110040892 | LOAD BALANCING APPARATUS AND LOAD BALANCING METHOD - A load balancing apparatus stores a transfer rule in which a path control identifier for identifying a path for a message sent from a client device is associated with relay device information for specifying a relay device that creates the path control identifier. When receiving a message from the client device, the load balancing apparatus determines whether the message contains the path control identifier. If the load balancing apparatus determines that the path control identifier is contained, the load balancing apparatus specifies, from the transfer rule, relay device information with which the path control identifier is associated and then sends the message to a relay device that is specified by the specified relay device information. In contrast, if the load balancing apparatus determines that the path control identifier is not contained, the load balancing apparatus sends the message to the relay device specified in accordance with a predetermined condition. | 02-17-2011 |
20110238975 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, ROUTE CONTROL DEVICE, AND DATA RELAY METHOD - A server notifies a route control device of a session ID indicating a session and generated for a user of a terminal device together with its own IP address. The terminal device notifies a route control device of data for a connection to a relay device together with a session ID. The route control device associates the data for the connection with the IP address of the server using the session ID, and sets the associated combination as relay setting information in the relay device. Thus, the relay device refers to the relay setting information using data for a connection extracted from a message when the message is received from the terminal device, and determines a destination of the message. | 09-29-2011 |
20110282926 | RELAY APPARATUS, RECORDING MEDIUM STORING A RELAY PROGRAM, AND A RELAY METHOD - A relay apparatus generates partial message data by assembling a package group, the packet group including, out of a plurality of packets received and related to one message, a head packet related to the one message up to a packet including, as a payload, user identification information in a header of the one message. The relay apparatus extracts the user identification information from the partial message data and identifying a user identifier from the user identification information. The relay apparatus performs a specific packet process, in accordance with the identified user identifier, on the packet group of the one message, and a packet not assembled by a packet assembling unit out of the plurality of packets. | 11-17-2011 |
