Abstract
An information processing device, comprising: a traffic control unit configured to regularly check whether packets are transmitted to an adjacent node and received from the adjacent node; and a sleep determination process unit configured to determine whether there is a possibility that packets are transmitted to the adjacent node when no packet is transmitted to the adjacent node and received from to the adjacent node, and to transmit a sleep OK notice to the adjacent node indicating that the adjacent node shift to a sleep mode when the sleep determination process unit determines that there is a low probability that packets are transmitted to the adjacent node.
