ABSTRACT:
A method of managing, in a network system having at least two end systems, at least two networks respectively connected to the at least two end systems and at least one transfer device for connecting the networks and transferring data between the networks, a maximum transfer unit of one unit of data transferred at time on a transfer route connected between the two end systems and including the networks and the transfer device. A table is provided having information about the transfer route in each of the end systems and the transfer device, and an optimum value of maximum data lengths of the one unit of data which are transferable on the transfer route is registered, as the maximum transfer unit for the transfer device, in each of the tables. In particular, the optimum value is a minimum value of maximum data lengths of the one unit of data which are transferable through each of the networks on the transfer route.
