Abstract
A node device in an information communicating system: determines whether or not the node device is communicable over the IPv4; determines whether or not the node device is communicable over the IPv6; acquires a first routing table that is generated using a first node device communicable over the IPv4 from a predetermined device that is connected to a network if communication is possible over the IPv4; and acquires a second routing table that is generated using a second node device communicable over the IPv6 from the predetermined device that is connected to the network if communication is possible over the IPv6. If the controller determines that communication is possible over the IPv4 and the controller determines that communication is possible over the IPv6, the controller acquires one of the first one of the first routing table and the second routing table according to a priority order.
