ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a traffic information collecting device and method. A node in a communication network collects a first traffic information of a first link connected to an own node. And also the node receives second traffic information of second links connected to the other nodes. The second traffic information is transmitted from the other nodes. The node stores the first and second information. In consequence, the node can be informed of the conditions of the traffic of each link in the communication network based on the stored information. As the result, it becomes possible to control the load sharing in correspondence to the conditions of the traffic.
