Abstract
A forwarding node processes a packet between a supplicant and a prescribed authentication device, in accordance with a processing rule that has been set. The authentication device performs a prescribed authentication procedure with the supplicant and notifies a result thereof to a control server. In a case where an authentication procedure with the authentication device succeeds, the control server creates a first forwarding path between the supplicant and a destination node, and transmits a processing rule for a packet received or transmitted between the supplicant and a destination node, following the first forwarding path, in at least one forwarding node in the first forwarding path.
