Abstract: There is provided a communication device including: a communication section that executes communication with another node; and a control section that controls the communication by the communication section, the control section adding, to a packet directed toward a transmission destination node by a transmission source node, header information containing at least path information between the communication device located in a stage subsequent to the transmission source node and a target node located in a stage preceding the transmission destination node, and causing the communication section to send the packet toward another node residing in a path.

Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] To provide a communication apparatus that is novel, enhanced, and able to improve communication efficiency through improvement of an existing slice construction method. [Solution] There is provided a communication apparatus including a communication control section that performs, using a network address configured by m bytes, communication control on one or more network slices, and the network address has a prefix section that includes, in a portion of high-order n bytes, a slice number that identifies the one or more network slices and a subnet number in the one or more network slices.

Abstract: [Problem] A communication device is provided that enables one or more functions desired by a service user to act on a packet desired by the service user, in a service of forwarding packets in a network. [Solution] The communication device includes a communication unit configured to execute communication with another node and a control unit configured to control communication by the communication unit. The control unit generates path information to a target node. In the path information to the target node, at least information on at least one relay node present on a path to the target node and information on a function to be executed by the relay node are described.
