1. A periodic flow detection device comprising:
a packet classification unit, including one or more processors, configured to classify packets into a plurality of flows on a basis of information included in acquired packets;
a flow evaluation unit, including one or more processors, configured to evaluate a possibility that each of the plurality of flows is periodically transmitted on a basis of time at which the packets are acquired and the flow evaluation unit is configured to evaluate each of the plurality of flows on a basis of whether or not a packet belonging to the flow is a periodic flow acquired at a predetermined frequency or more, and in a case where the flow is not the periodic flow, an evaluation value is calculated as zero; and
a flow determination unit, including one or more processors, configured to determine, from the plurality of flows, a periodic flow that is a flow to which packets periodically acquired belong on a basis of a result of the evaluation.
