An information processing apparatus is provided. Plural processors respectively execute separate operating systems to process data that has been received from a network. The apparatus includes receiving device that receives the data in predetermined units from the network and analyzing device that analyzes identification data added to the data received by the receiving device. The apparatus also includes maintaining device which maintains a table that relates the identification data to information on identification of an interrupt register in each of the processors that execute the operating systems. The apparatus further includes interrupting device that allows interrupt processing to any of the processors to occur by writing the data received with the receiving device into the interrupt register that is related to the identification data, which is identified on the based of the table maintained by the maintaining device, analyzed by the analyzing device.
