1. An ultra-highspeed optical packet transfer ring network comprised by connecting optical add/drop multiplex type node apparatuses in a ring network for optical packets to be added to, dropped from or passed through said ring network by means of an optical fiber transmission path, wherein a packet transfer control section is provided in each optical add/drop multiplex type node apparatus to manage a flow of incoming packets arriving through the optical fiber transmission path so that an optical packet not addressed to itself is allowed to pass through as an optical packet, and an optical packet addressed to its own node apparatus is dropped for further processing.
