Information processing apparatus and verification system

An information processing apparatus includes a processor that obtains a flow table from a switch apparatus that processes packets by using the flow table. The processor creates, for each flow registered with the flow table, a verification packet based on identification information that identifies each flow. The processor determines a number of verification packets based on a count value that represents a number of actual packets that have arrived at the switch apparatus. The processor generates the number of verification packets for each flow by copying the verification packet created for each flow. The processor determines transmission order of the generated verification packets based on the count value for each flow and time information that represents a time when a final actual packet of each flow has arrived at the switch apparatus.
