Abstract

In a node device which is part of a communication system with a terminal and a location registering server, a node device on a receiving side transfers, to a destination node device, a received inter-node packet, based on destination terminal location information stored in its storage portion or based on a location registering server, directly or through other devices, or the destination node device notifies a former node device (on the receiving side) of an address of its own device and the destination terminal directly or through other devices. Also, the node device on the receiving side or the destination node device notify a source node device of the address of the destination node device and the destination terminal directly or through other devices, based on a predetermined address stored in the storage portion of the terminal, the node device, or the location registering server.
