NODE APPARATUS AND ALTERNATIVE PATH SEARCH METHOD

摘要

Anode apparatus includes: a receiver configured to receive data from a first node apparatus adjacent to the node apparatus, a transmission source of the data being a second node apparatus; a data generator configured to generate transmission data in which the second node apparatus is specified as a final destination; a transmitter configured to transmit the transmission data to an adjacent node apparatus of the node apparatus other than the first node apparatus; and a decision unit configured to decide that an alternative path for transmitting data via an adjacent node apparatus of the node apparatus other than the first node apparatus does not exist between the node apparatus and the second node apparatus, when the node apparatus receives the transmission data transmitted by the transmitter to all adjacent node apparatuses of the node apparatus other than the first node apparatus.
