A communication relay apparatus is provided that shortens the time of communication relay during handovers, while reducing the load on communication relay apparatuses so as to enable application to large-scale networks. The communication relay apparatus sets static tunnels only with communication relay apparatuses for which the frequency of handovers is high and with communication relay apparatuses for which the probability of occurrence of handovers is high, and sets dynamic tunnels with other communication relay apparatuses. For communication relay apparatuses with which static tunnels are set, data packets are transferred via the static tunnel; for communication relay apparatuses with which static tunnels are not set, a dynamic tunnel is set, and data packets are transferred via the dynamic tunnel.
