Abstract
In a flow-based network such as an open flow network system, even when a network appliance such as NAT and NAPT for translating a packet header is passed through, a correspondence relation of two flows before and after the passing can be grasped to make it possible to trace the flow in end-to-end. Specifically, a packet is encapsulated in a switch (or in a controller requested from the switch). By encapsulating by using the same header as a current header, two kinds of headers before the translation and after the translation are attached to the packet after the packet phases through the network appliance.
