Abstract

A path defining/changing/deleting section sets in advance the definition of the setup of a PVC connection in a PVC connection object management table as a PVC connection object. Each PVC connection object has an attribute indicating an active or inactive state. When a request is made by a reservation controlling section for activating or deactivating an object PVC connection, a PVC active/inactive state controlling section can immediately read from the PVC connection object management table a PVC connection object indicating the definition of the setup of the object PVC connection, to send commands based on the definition to each of network elements (NE) which comprise an information communications network.
