    Abstract: In an access point device, a controller controls a wired interface communicating on wire with a network switcher accommodating access point devices and a wireless interface communicating wirelessly with a wireless terminal device located in its service area. Services are handed over between the access point devices responsively to the wireless terminal device moving. Access point devices before and after the handover of services are defined as a handover source and a hand over destination, respectively. A hand over at the hand over destination causes a data frame to be generated containing the MAC address of the wireless terminal device as a source address, a broadcast address as a destination address and address information of its own device. A table holds terminal connection information defining the relationship of the MAC address to the IP address of the wireless terminal device. The data frame is transmitted to the network switcher through the wired interface.
