See full text

A connection server (3) has a receiving part (31) for receiving request information regarding a request for load sharing, which is sent from a first information processing apparatus (1) to a load sharing port of the connection server (3), a load sharing part (32) for allocating the first information processing apparatus (1) that is a source of the request information to any processing server, a sending part (33) for sending port position information indicating the position of the connection port corresponding to the allocated processing server to the first information processing apparatus (1), and a connection part (34) for establishing a connection between the connection port and the processing server corresponding to the connection port. The first information processing apparatus (1) sends the received port position information to a second information processing apparatus (2). With this configuration, in a communication system for load sharing, two or more information processing apparatuses have access to one processing server.
