COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND PATH CONTROL METHOD

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a communication system and a path control method with which flexible routing can be achieved in a mobile communication network. A communication system according to the present invention is provided with: a data transfer device (11); a gateway (12) which performs prescribed processing with respect to data transferred from the data transfer device (11); and a path control device (13) which in cases when data having a virtual relay device as the destination thereof is transferred to the data transfer device (11) controls the data transfer device (11) such that the destination of the data is set to the gateway (12) and the data is transferred to the gateway (12) without being transferred to the virtual relay device.
