PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform topology estimation of a network.SOLUTION: An information processing method includes the steps of: (A) receiving link data about an identifier of a link between nodes from a master node in a network including a plurality of nodes; (B) when first data are received from a slave node in the network, the first data being generated from an identifier of a link to a present node and obtained by encoding the identifier of the link to the present node in a restorable manner, generating second data obtained by further encoding the identifier, included in the link data, of the link of the present node with the master node in a restorable manner; and (C) transmitting the second data to the master node. |
