Abstract:
A relay device is connected to two networks of a plurality of layered networks and connected to a first communication device directly under a first lower layer network that is on a lower level of the two networks. The relay device includes a storage unit that stores connection information including model identification information associated with each of a second communication device and the first communication device and information on the number of connected second communication devices or on a memory area assigned to each of the first communication device and the second communication device, the second communication device being connected to a lower side through a second lower layer network that is situated lower than the first lower layer network, the connection information being arranged in a format capable of specifying a layer of a network to which each communication device is connected.

Claim (Index 5):
The relay device according to  claim 4 , comprising:\n connection information acquisition circuitry to, in a case where the first communication device is another relay device, acquire first connection information from the other relay device, the first connection information being connection information stored in the other relay device; connection information generation circuitry to, in a case where second connection information that is the connection information storable in the memory is not stored and the memory stores, for the first communication device, network information including the model identification information, the head address, and the information on the memory size, generate the second connection information using the network information and the first connection information, and store the generated second connection information in the memory; and connection information response circuitry to, in response to a request of reading the second connection information from a third communication device connected to an upper side through an upper layer network that is situated higher than the first lower layer network, transmit the second connection information stored in the memory to the third communication device, wherein the connection information response circuitry instructs the connection information generation circuitry to generate the second connection information in a case where the second connection information is not stored in the memory, and the connection information generation circuitry instructed by the connection information response circuitry instructs the connection information acquisition circuitry to acquire the first connection information.
