A method provides a communication path in a ring network having a plurality of communication nodes. The method includes: setting transfer information of data in each of the plurality of communication nodes by making the transfer information correspond to connection information for identifying a connection within the ring network to provide a first communication path; determining whether to update the transfer information in each of the communication nodes according to the position where the fault occurs; and updating the transfer information according to the position where the fault occurs in one or more of communication nodes to provide a second communication path. Each of the plurality of communication nodes transfers input data by using the first or second communication path according to transfer information corresponding to connection information attached to the input data. |
