ABSTRACT:
For the purpose of controlling a communication network used for communication of information and having a plurality of transmission units and a plurality of circuits making connections between the plurality of transmission units, a network control apparatus is provided which rearranges the communication network, by using a plurality of transmission units and a plurality of circuits, into at least one terminal network of at least four terminals. This network control apparatus has a faulty section detecting unit which detects a faulty section which includes a circuit in which a failure has occurred, based on failure information with regard to failures which can occur in each terminal network; a pattern storage unit in which are pre-stored patterns, for each terminal network, with regard to the circuit paths which could be taken in each terminal network; a pattern selection unit which, when a faulty section is detected, selects from the pattern storage unit a pattern corresponding to an alternative route which avoids the faulty section; and a transmission unit control unit which controls the operation of each of the transmission units in accordance with a circuit path which includes the selected pattern.
