The present invention relates to a packet routing apparatus for routing packets via a pre-established connection in a store and forward network. It is an object of the present invention to realize adaptability to a desired redundant configuration and to avoid degradation in transmission efficiency during a reconfiguration period at low cost and with reliability. In order to achieve the object, the present invention is composed of a routing section for storing inputted packets and routing the packets according to route selection information conforming to the pre-established connection, and a plurality of control sections being arranged redundantly, for controlling the routing section according to a system configuration which conforms to a standby redundancy method, and allowing the operation of the routing section in a reconfiguration process while delivering information necessary for continuing the control to a part which inherits the control.
