<p>There is provided a communication system that can be implemented using a simplified forwarding table, and moreover can also be applied to path control for data packets. A path management server configures forwarding path information that is configured by arranging link IDs for identifying communication interfaces provided in respective forwarding nodes in a forwarding path of a data transfer network or links extending between said respective forwarding nodes and neighboring nodes thereof. For packets to which is added a header containing the forwarding path information, a forwarding node performs packet forwarding processing in accordance with the forwarding path information.</p> |
