Provided are a router estimation system and a router estimation method which enable accurate estimation of a router in network slices that is a cause of a silent failure. A policy manager () identifies, when a plurality of function elements are determined to have deteriorated in performance in slice communication, for each of the plurality of function elements determined to have deteriorated in performance, a group of routers located on a route of the slice communication, based on router group data. The policy manager () estimates at least one router included in every router group identified for the each of the plurality of function elements determined to have deteriorated in performance to be a router that is a cause of the deterioration of performance of the function element.
