A load distribution of controllers is made possible in a combination of a switch and a controller which do not have a load distribution function independently, and in a combination of the switch and the controller that do not have a compatibility in the load distribution function due to a difference of makers. Specifically, in a system which controls a data flow flowing through the network by dynamically setting a delivery route of a packet to switches in the network by the controllers such as a server, the master controller is determined to the switch while notifying a connection from the switch to the plurality of controllers, by a proxy provided between the switch and the controller, and an inquiry message from the switch is transferred only to the master controller. A route data registration message is transmitted to the proxy from the master controller in response to the inquiry message from the switch. The route data registration message is transferred to all the switches which are dealt with the notice from the proxy.
