Abstract:
A communication device includes: a forwarding unit configured to determine, if a first packet is directed to the communication device, whether or not a forwarding destination address of the first packet can be specified based on a value contained in a first field of the first packet, the forwarding unit setting, if it can be specified, the specified forwarding destination address as the destination address of the first packet and forwarding the first packet; and a processing unit configured to perform, if no forwarding destination address of the first packet can be specified and the first packet includes a request packet that requests an object according to an object name of the object, processing for specifying the forwarding destination of the first request packet based on the object name.

Claim (Index 1):
A communication device with a plurality of first interfaces and at least one second interface, comprising:\n a forwarding unit configured to forward, if a first packet received via one of the plurality of first interfaces is not directed to the communication device, the first packet via one of the plurality of first interfaces based on a flow table, and determine, if the first packet is directed to the communication device, whether or not a forwarding destination address of the first packet can be specified based on a value contained in a first field of the first packet, the forwarding unit setting, if the forwarding destination address of the first packet can be specified, the specified forwarding destination address as the destination address of the first packet and forwarding the first packet via one of the plurality of first interfaces based on the flow table; and a processing unit configured to perform, if no forwarding destination address of the first packet that indicates this communication device can be specified and the first packet includes a first request packet that requests an object obtained by dividing content, according to an object name of the object, processing for specifying, based on the object name, whether a forwarding destination of the first request packet is included in the plurality of first interfaces or the at least one second interface, the processing unit performing, if the forwarding destination of the first request packet is included in the at least one second interface, processing for specifying a second interface from which the first request packet is to be output.
