4. The control method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the predetermined data is a destination network address, a transmission source network address, a destination port number, or a transmission source port number.

5. The control method according to claim 3 ,

wherein the second execution information is updated by deleting processing information that is to be deleted when an amount of processing information included in the second execution information reaches to an upper limit value.

6. A packet processing device, comprising:

a first processor; and

a second processor,

wherein the first processor is configured to:

receive a packet that includes identification information,

calculate a first value using some pieces of data included in the received packet,

search first execution information corresponding to the first value from among a plurality of first execution information stored in a first memory, the plurality of first execution information respectively including the identification information of the received packet and processing that is to be executed for the received packet, and

transmit specification information indicating processing that is to be executed, included in the identified first execution information together with the received packet, to the second processor, when the specification information corresponding to the first value is specified by the searching and when the specification information specifies processing by the second processor, and

wherein the second processor is configured to:

receive, by the second processor, the specification information and the received packet, and

execute a processing corresponding to the received specification information by referring to a second memory that stores second execution information in which specification information of a certain processing, a processing content, and addition information including one or more parameters used for the certain processing are associated with each other for each of a plurality of specification information.

7. The packet processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the some pieces of data is a destination physical address.

8. The packet processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first processor is configured to:

calculate a second value which is different from the first value using predetermined data included in the received packet, and

transmit the second value together with the received packet, when the specification information corresponding to the first value is not specified by the searching, and

wherein the second processor is configured to

execute a processing corresponding to the second value by referring to the second memory that stores the second execution information.

9. The packet processing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the predetermined data is a destination network address, a transmission source network address, a destination port number, or a transmission source port number.

10. The packet processing device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the second execution information is updated by deleting processing information that is to be deleted when an amount of processing information included in the second execution information reaches to an upper limit value.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium including a program that causes a first processor and a second processor included in a packet processing device to execute a process, the process comprising:

receiving, by the first processor, a packet that includes identification information;

calculating a first value using some pieces of data included in the received packet;

searching first execution information corresponding to the first value from among a plurality of first execution information stored in a first memory, the plurality of first execution information respectively including the identification information of the received packet and processing that is to be executed for the received packet;

transmitting specification information indicating processing that is to be executed, included in the identified first execution information together with the received packet, to the second processor, when the specification information corresponding to the first value is specified by the searching and when the specification information specifies processing by the second processor;

receiving, by the second processor, the specification information and the received packet; and

executing a processing corresponding to the received specification information by referring to a second memory that stores second execution information in which specification information of a certain processing, a processing content, and addition information including one or more parameters used for the certain processing are associated with each other for each of a plurality of specification information.

12. The recording medium according to claim 11 ,

wherein the some pieces of data is a destination physical address.

13. The recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein the process further comprising:

calculating, by the first processor, a second value which is different from the first value using predetermined data included in the received packet;

transmitting the second value together with the received packet, when the specification information corresponding to the first value is not specified by the searching; and

executing a processing corresponding to the second value by referring to the second memory that stores the second execution information.
