COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, PATH INFORMATION EXCHANGE APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION NODE, FORWARDING METHOD FOR PATH INFORMATION AND PROGRAM

摘要

A communication system includes: a plurality of communication nodes; a control apparatus that controls the plurality of communication nodes based on path information collected using an internal border gateway protocol; and a path information processing apparatus that includes: a first path information processing unit that receives, via communication node(s) connected to an other autonomous system, among the plurality of communication nodes, path information from the other autonomous system using an external border gateway protocol, and a second path information processing unit that reports the path information received by the first path information processing unit to the control apparatus using an internal border gateway protocol.
