Summary:An ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) switching system is capable of performing a charging process, while suppressing a data communication amount used to acquire data required for a charging process. The ATM switching system is arranged by comprising: a charging data processing unit for counting a quantity of transmitted ATM cells with respect to each of transmission destinations, and for notifying the count value as charging data; a charging information processing unit for requesting the charging data processing unit to notify the charging data, and for notifying charging information produced based on the charging data; and a control unit for requesting the charging information processing unit to notify the charging information.
