Abstract

A data transmission method includes: a step in which each of a plurality of devices determines an IP address of each device based on a hash value calculated from a public key of each device according to a hash function; a step in which each of the plurality of devices holds state information reflecting a connection relationship between the devices and transmits a notification message indicating content of the state information to another device; a step in which each of the plurality of devices updates the state information held by each device based on the notification message received from the another device; and a step in which, in a group of devices logically defined based on the state information held by each device, a routing table that is held between the devices included in the group and is used to search for a device to be a destination of data transmission is determined.
