Abstract
The router, which serves as an egress of a first network, forms a frame out of a control frame, which is received through a virtual connection in the first network and is to be terminated at the router, and transmits the frame to a second network, i.e., to external of the first network. The router also forms a frame out of a data frame, which is received through the same virtual connection and is to be transferred through the router, and transfers the frame to the second network. The router, which serves as an ingress of a third network, receives the frame including the control frame, is able to change the information contained in another control frame to be transferred within the third network, based on the control information generated in the first network and contained in the received frame. Thus, each node in the networks can perform packet transfer control based not only on control/congestion information of its own network but also on control/congestion information of other networks.
