A packet router in a label switching system includes a logical router configuring module for logically dividing a label switching router (LSR) into a plurality of LSRs each having a label switching function, and a module for specifying, when setting a label switched path on the basis of an explicit route specified, a port or a port group of an egress node. With this construction, a label switching architecture in an ATM network for actualizing MPLS (label switching) can be mapped to an ATM-Switch base system architecture, and a granularity or function (Constraint Base Routing) of specifying a variety of routes provided by MPLS can be attained.
