CONSTITUTION:A charging traffic unit notice request packet REQ 16 is sent from a charging terminal equipment accommodated packet switchboard 1a to a non-charging terminal equipment accommodating packet switchboard 1b at the time of revising charging period, the packet switchboard 1b sets a charging traffic unit 4b to a charging traffic unit packet CHG 17 and sends the resulting packet to the charging terminal equipment accommodated packet switchboard 1a. The packet switchboard 1a sums up the charging traffic unit of the non-charging terminal equipment 2b and the charging traffic unit 4a of the charging terminal equipment 2a, decides whether or not the time is within a discount time zone and the discount charge or the usual charge are added and the result is stored in an accumulation charge storage area 5.
