In an OpenFlow network, it is determined which port of which node device a terminal connected to a group of node devices is connected to, by only using the source MAC address and port number of a packet transmitted from the terminal. Specifically, the node device compares a set of the port number and source MAC address information of a packet transmitted from the terminal to the node device with a set (s) of a port number and MAC address information held in a preliminary search table to check whether they match each other. When the comparison does not result in a match, the node device notifies the controller by using the inquiry information (packet-in) function of OpenFlow. Furthermore, the node device compares the destination MAC address information of the packet with a set(s) of MAC address information held in a final search table to check whether they match each other. |
