Abstract
A network system includes: a VXLAN region that is connected to a vEPC virtual network and in which encapsulation by VXLAN is performed; a PBB region in which encapsulation by PBB is performed; an edge router that belongs to the VXLAN region and is connected to an edge switch in the PBB region; and an edge switch that belongs to the PBB region and is connected to the edge router. The edge router performs conversion between a VNID of data encapsulated by the VXLAN and an intermediate CVID of decapsulated data exchanged with the edge switch, and the edge switch performs conversion between an ISID of data encapsulated by the PBB and the intermediate CVID.
