Abstract
A communication system comprises a path management server that configures forwarding path information that is configured by arranging link IDs for identifying communication interfaces provided in respective forwarding nodes in a forwarding path of a data transfer network or links extending between said respective forwarding nodes and neighboring nodes thereof. For packets to which is added a header containing the forwarding path information, a forwarding node performs packet forwarding processing in accordance with the forwarding path information.
