Abstract
An information processing apparatus in a mesh network, includes circuitry that, when the information processing apparatus is allocated as a root node for multicast transmission, transmits path request for multicast to other information processing apparatuses in the mesh network. The circuitry also determines a path for multicast based on responses received from the other information processing apparatuses, and performs multicast transmission of data via the determined path for multicast.
