[Problem] To provide a communication technique and a communication path control technique that, when switching the routes of communication paths, can suppress the influences on communication services. [Solution] A communication apparatus (4) for performing communications via communication paths established in a network comprises: a first means that can receive, from a control apparatus (5) capable of transmitting, to the communication apparatus, a control signal related to the communication paths, a packet transfer policy indicating gateways (3) associated with the communication paths; and a second means that can transfer, on the basis of the packet transfer policy, a received packet to the gateway associated with the communication path to which the received packet belongs. |
