20. A communication method performed in a transmission apparatus, comprising:
generating, by processing circuitry of the transmission apparatus, information regarding QoS of a plurality of communication lines;
designating, by the processing circuitry, assignment of data to communication lines of the plurality of communication lines on a basis of at least (i) the information regarding the QoS of the plurality of communication lines and (ii) assignment information indicating an assignment status of a data amount and a communication line transferred in the past; and
allocating and transmitting, by communication circuitry of the transmission apparatus, the data to the assigned communication lines of the plurality of communication lines on a basis of an instruction from the processing circuitry.
