Abstract
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a provider network device, a network system, and a program that shorten a communication disconnection time during redundancy switching in a Single-Active redundant configuration. The provider network device according to the present disclosure notifies a CE that a VLAN, which has been communicating with traffic, is disabled due to setting of a block point or that new traffic communication is enabled due to releasing of the block point. This allows the CE to quickly delete a previously used transfer database and build up a new transfer database, and thus it is possible to shorten a communication disconnection time during redundancy switching.
