Abstract
A load caused by an information sharing message in an upper layer is reduced. A node, which shares information by exchanging a message between neighboring nodes in a lower layer and an upper layer of a network, includes a unit for determining whether or not to transmit a message for information sharing in the upper layer according to the contents of a state change in the neighboring nodes detected when a state change in the neighboring nodes in the lower layer is detected.
