A boundary node router determines whether a received packet includes a SIP
message and a REGISTER message, and, if so, adds its router identifier to
a REGISTER message which includes a user identifier and a user terminal
identifier, sent from a user terminal, and sends the message to a SIP
server. The SIP server has a user management table which stores the user
terminal identifier, the router identifier of a router which serves the
user terminal, and a predetermined Quality of Service type, in
association with each user identifier. The SIP server extracts a user
identifier, a user terminal identifier, and a router identifier from a
received REGISTER message, and updates the user terminal identifier and
the router identifier corresponding to the extracted user identifier, to
the extracted user terminal identifier and the extracted router
identifier.
