Network building apparatus, network building method, non-transitory computer readable medium storing program

Abstract

A network building apparatus (2) includes a collection unit (11) configured to scan each node connected to a network and collect environmental data of the network, a design unit (21) configured to design a virtual network obtained by virtualizing the network based on the environmental data collected by the collection unit (11), and an output unit (31) configured to output design data of the virtual network designed by the design unit (21).

1 - 9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . A method, comprising:
 storing procedure information indicating a procedure to place a node having a role in a network,   scanning a first node in a first network to collect environment data indicating a first role of the first node,   performing a first procedure indicated by the procedure information to place a second node having the first role in a second network, and   building the second network having second network roles which correspond to first network roles of the first network.   
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , further comprising evaluating the second network. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the first procedure indicates an order of the first procedure, and
 the performing the first procedure is performed following the order.   
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the second network is a virtual network. 
     
     
         14 . A network building apparatus comprising:
 at least one processor configured to:   store procedure information indicating a procedure to place a node having a role in a network,   scan a first node in a first network to collect environment data indicating a first role of the first node,   perform a first procedure indicated by the procedure information to place a second node having the first role in a second network, and   build the second network having second network roles which correspond to first network roles of the first network.   
     
     
         15 . The network building apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to evaluate the second network. 
     
     
         16 . The network building apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein the first procedure indicates an order of the first procedure, and
 the at least one processor is further configured to perform the first procedure following the order.   
     
     
         17 . The network building apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein the second network is a virtual network. 
     
     
         18 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:
 storing procedure information indicating a procedure to place a node having a role in a network,   scanning a first node in a first network to collect environment data indicating a first role of the first node,   performing a first procedure indicated by the procedure information to place a second node having the first role in a second network, and   building the second network having second network roles which correspond to first network roles of the first network.
