Abstract:
The second communication device is in one level higher in a logical network forming a tree structure and sends data to the first communication device. The third communication device is in two or more levels higher in the logical network. The third device is configured to send data to the first communication device without passing through the second communication device. The first communication devices comprises a monitoring unit and a connection switching unit. The monitoring unit is configured to monitor an operation state of the second communication device. The connection switching unit is configured to send a request for sending data to the third communication device, in a case that the normal operation state of the second communication device is not confirmed by the monitoring unit.

Claim (Index 6):
A communication device comprising:\n a monitoring unit configured to monitor an operation state of a second communication device, the second communication device being in one level higher than the communication device in a logical network forming a tree structure and sending data to the communication device; and a connection switching unit configured to, when the normal operation state of the second communication device is not confirmed by the monitoring unit, send a request for sending data to a third communication device, the third communication device being in two or more levels higher than the communication device in the logical network and being configured to send data to the communication device, without passing through the second communication device.
