Claim 8:
9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 8, wherein the recording area in the memory is a hash table constructed in a cache memory, and the traffic monitoring program further causes the traffic monitoring device to execute:
selecting one of the following layout methods (i), (ii), and (iii) so as to minimize the number of cache line accesses:
(i) a first layout method in which the metadata and the flow information are laid out in a cache line different for each flow;
(ii) a second layout method in which the metadata and the flow information are spread without gaps in each cache line; and
(iii) a third layout method in which the metadata and the flow information are laid out so that the number of flows each of which is laid out in one cache line is more than the number of flows each of which is laid out while divided into two cache lines.
