Abstract: A transport network control apparatus includes a unit configured to acquire, from a cloud management system configured to manage a first base and a second base that are connected via a transport network configured to provide a layer 2 connection service, a MAC address to be used for a frame that is transmitted from any one of the bases, a unit configured to compute, on the transport network, a forwarding path for forwarding the frame between the first and second bases using the MAC address as a destination, and a unit configured to set, in a forwarding node on the transport network, a forwarding rule for causing the frame to be forwarded along the computed forwarding path.
