Abstract:
1. A computer-readable, non-transitory medium on which a data communication load distribution control program for distributing a communication load on transmission lines for a single computer on which a plurality of communication interfaces are mounted is recorded, the program making the single computer perform a process comprising: generating a distribution algorithm notification packet including a plurality of different physical addresses to specify the plurality of communication interfaces mounted on the single computer and a distribution algorithm to be used by a computer at the other end to determine in what order the different physical addresses are selected as destination addresses of send data for the single computer; and sending the distribution algorithm notification packet from the single computer to the computer at the other end via a network, so as to cause the computer at the other end to send data to the single computer by using the different physical addresses in the order according to the distribution algorithm specified in the distribution algorithm notification packet.
