ABSTRACT:
The apparatus includes effective bandwidth information obtaining means for obtaining effective bandwidth information indicative of an effective bandwidth of each of the communication paths attached to the receiving devices so that each of the receiving devices is connected to the receiving device or the distributing device at the higher hierarchical level; effective bandwidth comparing means for comparing the effective bandwidths of the communication paths; and connection mode setting means for setting a mode of connection among the devices on the basis of a result of comparison of the effective bandwidth comparing means.
