摘要

An electronic device that relays an IPv4 packet includes circuitry configured to process the IPv4 packet in each of a first mode operating as a router and a second mode operating as a bridge, set one of the first mode and the second mode as a mode of the electronic device, terminate an IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel, and perform a communication test through the IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel with respect to another electronic device, and the another electronic device is connected with the electronic device via the IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel and terminates the IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel, and set the first mode as the mode, when a result of the communication test shows that communication is available.
