<p>A switching apparatus having a plurality of ports, includes: switch information storage (3c, 41-44) to store an output port identifier for a combination of an input port identifier, an input virtual path identifier, and a destination address; a detector (F1) to detect a first input virtual path identifier and a first destination address assigned to an input packet; a searcher (F2, F3) to search the switch information storage for a first output port identifier based on a first input port identifier that identifies a port to which the input packet has been input, the first input virtual path identifier, and the first destination address; and a packet switch (32a-32c) to transfer the input packet to a port identified by the first output port identifier.</p> |
