1. A communication route determination system, comprising:
at least one processor: and
at least one memory device storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
selecting two network nodes out of network nodes belonging to a network slice;
determining the two network nodes as a pair;
determining an IP address relating to the network slice for each of the network nodes of the pair;
determining, as a part or all of a communication route of the network slice, a communication route between the IP addresses; and
the communication route between the IP addresses in response to a fact that communication quality of the determined communication route satisfies a predetermined condition.
