1. A method for transferring packets from one node belonging to one logical network, comprising the steps of:

  • storing at said one node an information indicating an existence of a first dedicated virtual path for transferring packet flows specified by a first condition, which is capable of transferring packets without applying a network layer processing up to another node belonging to another logical network different from said one logical network; and

    communicating an identifier information for identifying a second dedicated virtual path for transferring a packet flow specified by a second condition which is more specific than the first condition by utilizing the first dedicated virtual path, and a condition information for indicating the second condition, in order to set up the second dedicated virtual path up to a termination point node of the first dedicated virtual path or a further downstream side node, between said one node and the termination point node.
