Abstract

A communication control apparatus includes a processor configured to performs association between a local network slice which is a network slice installed in a network provided by a wireless communication facility and a wide area network segment configured by grouping an external network which is different from the network provided by the wireless communication facility and is used as a dedicated line, sets a transfer path for data transmitted from a terminal using the local network slice, between the local network slice and the wide area network segment.

Claims (34)

1 . A communication control apparatus comprising a processor configured to

perform association between a local network slice which is a network slice installed in a network provided by a wireless communication facility and a wide area network segment configured by grouping an external network which is different from the network provided by the wireless communication facility and is used as a dedicated line, and

set a transfer path for data transmitted from a terminal using the local network slice, between the local network slice and the wide area network segment.

2 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

further associate a local network segment configured by grouping the local network slice with the association between the local network slice and the wide area network segment, and

set a transfer path for data transmitted from a terminal using the local network slice between the local network slice, the local network segment, and the wide area network segment.

3 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the association is defined by an association of a local network slice identifier for identifying the local network slice, a local network segment identifier for identifying the local network segment, and a wide area network segment identifier for identifying the wide area network segment.

4 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display a transfer path for data transmitted from the terminal on a display device.

5 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display a transfer path for data transmitted from the terminal on a display device.

6 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display a transfer path for data transmitted from the terminal on a display device.

7 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured not to associate the local network slice used by the terminal with another network segment including the wide area network segment, in a case where the processor transfers the data transmitted from the terminal to an external network different from the wide area network segment.

8 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured not to associate the local network slice used by the terminal with another network segment including the wide area network segment, in a case where the processor transfers the data transmitted from the terminal to an external network different from the wide area network segment.

9 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured not to associate the local network slice used by the terminal with another network segment including the wide area network segment, in a case where the processor transfers the data transmitted from the terminal to an external network different from the wide area network segment.

10 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured not to associate the local network slice used by the terminal with another network segment including the wide area network segment, in a case where the processor transfers the data transmitted from the terminal to an external network different from the wide area network segment.

11 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the processor is configured not to associate the local network slice used by the terminal with another network segment including the wide area network segment, in a case where the processor transfers the data transmitted from the terminal to an external network different from the wide area network segment.

12 . The communication control apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured not to associate the local network slice used by the terminal with another network segment including the wide area network segment, in a case where the processor transfers the data transmitted from the terminal to an external network different from the wide area network segment.

13 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a communication control program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

performing association between a local network slice which is a network slice installed in a network provided by a wireless communication facility and a wide area network segment configured by grouping an external network which is different from the network provided by the wireless communication facility and is used as a virtual dedicated line, and

setting a transfer path for data transmitted from a terminal using the local network slice, between the local network slice and the wide area network segment.

14 . A communication control system comprising:

a wireless communication facility that permits connection only to a predetermined terminal;

a wide area communication facility, which is connected to the wireless communication facility by a line and whose communication is controlled by software; and

a communication control apparatus that sets association between a local network slice which is a network slice installed in a network provided by the wireless communication facility and a wide area network segment configured by grouping an external network which is different from the network provided by the wireless communication facility and is used as a dedicated line, in the wireless communication facility and the wide area communication facility, and controls a transfer path of data transmitted from a terminal that uses the local network slice.
