PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress large scale and large power consumption (1), to allow handling of multiple flows with a common entry (2), and to minimize the number of switching times of labels during transmission (3).SOLUTION: In a network where each switch converts the label in a frame into the switching information when transmitting the frame among a plurality of terminals connected via a plurality of switch devices, and performs switching, a transmission terminal includes a header processing circuit having one or both of (1) a function for providing first and second label parts in the label field of a frame, setting the identification information for specifying the label administrator or the management range thereof in the first label part, and setting a unique code imparted by the label administrator or defined in the management range in the second label part, and (2) a function for providing a display control field in a frame, and setting the information for specifying a display area or a non-display area in the header field for an additional header. |
