Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is supplying a packet tracing system which can trace a route of a packet using existing network components. Packet printing devices 1a, 1b, and 1c generate packet identifying information for each packet which transmits through the communication line and write the packet identifying information to a storage part. An IDS 3 detects suspicious packets in a network under surveillance. A management system which receives a suspicious packet in a network generates a hash value for the suspicious packet and sends a request for examination which contains the hash value to the packet printing devices 1a, 1b and 1c. The packet printing devices 1a, 1b and 1c examine an internal storage part and send a result of examination to the management system 2. The management system 2 obtains a transmission route of the suspicious packet to be traced and by the result of examination and information of network construction.

A reference phase difference .DELTA..beta. and a ramp phase difference .sigma. are generated in an interference light intensity signal I by use of a triangular waveform, i.e., delta serrodyne waveform signal. The reference phase difference .DELTA..beta. is changed to constant values .DELTA..beta..sub.A and .DELTA..beta..sub.B whose absolute values are the same and whose signs are different at every times T.sub.A and T.sub.B. A phase x of the interference light intensity signal I becomes equal to x=.DELTA..theta.+.sigma.+.DELTA..beta.. The ramp phase difference .sigma. is controlled so as to satisfy .DELTA..theta.+.sigma.=0. Accordingly, at the stable point of the control loop, a Sagnac phase difference .DELTA..theta. is equal to the ramp phase difference .sigma..
