1. A method of searching for an available path within a mesh architecture of a transmission system including a plurality of nodes having a plurality of paths connected to a mesh network, comprising the steps of:

  • in setting a shortest path between first and second nodes;

    registering first data associated with a transmission path connected to a first relay node adjacent to said first node, and constituting a transmission path included in said shortest path, as path management data for said first node, in a path management table;

    registering second data associated with a transmission path connected to a node adjacent to each relay node present on the shortest path as path management data for said each relay node apparatus, in said path management table;

    wherein said path management data contains only said single adjacent path, included in said shortest path, for each target node registered for each of the nodes; and

    searching for an available path between said nodes on the basis of the path management data in said path management table.
