In a ring network system comprising a plurality of nodes (NDa-NDe), each node is provided with a node information table (AIT) which is logically divided into node areas (201-205) each corresponding to a single node within the ring network. Each node collects node information stored in the node information tables of the two adjacent nodes by regularly accessing the node information tables of those nodes (S302-S305), and updates the contents of its own node information table (S403, S405). As a result of the above information collecting operation that is performed by each node, all the node information can be stored in the node information table of each node. <IMAGE> |
