Abstract

Provided is a communication system whereby even when there exist a plurality of types of links of packet forwarding apparatuses forming a communication network, flow paths can appropriately be established. A packet forwarding apparatus information storing means (71) stores, for each of a plurality of packet forwarding apparatuses, the identifier of the packet forwarding apparatus, the port identifier of each of a plurality of ports of the packet forwarding apparatus, and the type of a link connected to each port of the packet forwarding apparatus. A link type determining means (73), when having received a new-flow detection notification from a packet forwarding apparatus (80), determines the type of a link, along which a packet received by the packet forwarding apparatus passes, on the basis of the identifier and port identifier of the packet forwarding apparatus included in the new-flow detection notification and further on the basis of the information stored in the packet forwarding apparatus information storing means (71). A path calculating means (74) calculates, based on topology information related to the determined type of the link, a communication path of the packet.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a communication system, a path control device, a packet forwarding device, a path control method, a path control program, and a program for the packet forwarding device. In particular, the present invention relates to a communication system including a packet forwarding device for forwarding a packet and a path control device for controlling packet forwarding of the packet forwarding device to control a communication path, and the path control device applicable to the communication system, The packet forwarding device, path control method, path control program, and program for the packet forwarding device. Background technique [0002] An example of a communication system including a flow switch for forwarding a packet and a flow switch for controlling packet forwarding by the flow switch to control a communication path is described in Patent Literature (PTL) 1 and Non-Patent Literature (NPL) 1 and 2. Path control equi...
