According to the transmission method, labels to be used at the failure occurrence are previously and individually set to links in respective directions among all nodes on the one directional link connecting between adjacent nodes basis, and when a failure occurs, a failure notifying message is sent out onto a same directional ring from a termination node of a failed block, to be sequentially transferred to each downstream node, and a label table for connecting the links in cooperative with the reception of the failure notifying message is created in each node, and also, a bypassing path is formed by turning back the rings at both end nodes of the failed block. Thus, in a ring network of label switching system, it becomes possible to easily perform the label table management and also to set a bypassing path in a short time at the failure occurrence.
