PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to connect the larger number of nodes to an information processing network.SOLUTION: A system includes: a plurality of nodes, each of which is classified into any of a plurality of sets; a plurality of first switches, each of which is connected to any of the plurality of nodes and has first relay information on the connected node; and a plurality of second switches, each of which relays a packet from a first switch and has second relay information on any set, of which the second switch is in charge, of the plurality of sets. When a first node transmits a packet addressed to a second node belonging to a first set to a first switch connected to the first node, the first switch transmits the received packet to a second switch in charge of the first set on the basis of address information of the received packet and first relay information. The addressed second switch transmits the received packet to a first switch connected to the second node on the basis of address information of the received packet and second relay information. The addressed first switch transmits the received packet to the second node. |
