Abstract:
A resource allocation device includes a searcher configured, in response to a use request for resources of a physical network, the use request having a pair of nodes as terminal points designated among a plurality of nodes constituting the physical network, to search for one or more candidate paths between the terminal points, with which amounts of the resources related to the use request can be allocated, in a state where the resources that have already been allocated to one or more other use requests are set aside from the physical network; a calculator configured to calculate, for each of the one or more searched-for candidate paths, in a state where the resources are allocated to the candidate path, for each of the one or more other existing use requests to which the resources have already been allocated, a maximum number of paths that can be allocated between the terminal points related to the use request; and a selector configured to select the candidate path with which a sum total of the maximum numbers of paths becomes greatest. This enables resource allocation by which fragmentation of resources of a physical network can be avoided, a great number of services can be held in the physical network.

Claim (Index 3):
A resource allocation method executed by a computer, the method comprising:\n a searching step, in response to a use request for resources of a physical network, the use request having a pair of nodes as terminal points designated among a plurality of nodes constituting the physical network, to search for one or more candidate paths between the terminal points, with which amounts of the resources related to the use request can be allocated, in a state where the resources that have already been allocated to one or more other use requests are set aside from the physical network; a calculating step to calculate, for each of the one or more searched-for candidate paths, in a state where the resources are allocated to the candidate path, for each of the one or more other existing use requests to which the resources have already been allocated, a maximum number of paths that can be allocated between the terminal points related to the use request; and a selecting step to select the candidate path with which a sum total of the maximum numbers of paths becomes greatest.
