Abstract:
A communication system includes: a control apparatus setting control information in a forwarding node(s); a forwarding node(s); and an access control apparatus. The forwarding node(s) forwards packets by using first control information set by the control apparatus and second control information for forwarding packets that do not match a matching condition(s) in the first control information set by the control apparatus from a predetermined port of the forwarding node(s). The access control apparatus includes a determination unit determining whether to generate control information for the packets forwarded from the predetermined port of the forwarding node(s) and requesting the control apparatus to generate control information.
Abstract:
A terminal communicating with a network including a forwarding device for forwarding a packet and a control device for controlling the forwarding device in accordance with a request from the forwarding device, includes a communication unit that receives a processing rule indicating that a packet for communicating with a first destination is changed so as to communicate with a second destination, from the control device, a storage unit that stores the received processing rule, and a processing unit that in a case of communicating with the network, changes a destination of a packet in accordance with a processing rule that corresponds to the packet by referring to the processing rule stored in the storage unit.
