A handling address range is pre-assigned to each of switching devices consisting a network switching system. The switching device has a data receiving unit, an assigned data transport unit, an unassigned data transport unit, and a lower transport layer transport unit. The data receiving unit receives data including a destination address in a network layer and a destination identifier in a lower transport layer. If the destination identifier specifies the device itself, the assigned data transport unit and the unassigned data transport unit perform data transfer, whereas if the destination identifier specifies a device other than itself, the lower transport layer transport unit performs data transport. When the destination address is assigned address, the assigned data transport unit generates data including an identifier of a device corresponding to the destination address, and transports the generated data. When the destination address is not assigned address, the unassigned data transport unit transport the data to a switching device among the plurality of switching devices consisting the switching system to which the destination address is assigned.
