Claim:
1. A node in a network including a plurality of nodes, the node comprising: a memory configured to store a communication history between a plurality of other nodes and the node comprising the memory; a transmission unit configured to transmit an acknowledgement response to received data; a reception unit configured to receive, from a duplicating node among the plurality of other nodes that generates duplicate data of transmitted data when the duplicating node does not receive an acknowledgement response to data transmitted to the node comprising the memory from the node comprising the memory, a check request that includes a first communication history between the duplicating node and the node comprising the memory and that requests to check the first communication history; and a processor configured to collate the first communication history included in the check request and a second communication history between the duplicating node and the node comprising the memory, the second communication history being stored in the memory, when the check request is received, and to change a response method against the duplicating node, when the duplicating node does not receive the acknowledgement response to the data transmitted to the node comprising the memory from the node comprising the memory, to a first method in which a number of times of transmitting an acknowledgement response to data received from the duplicating node is increased, a second method in which transmission power of an acknowledgement response to data received from the duplicating node is increased, or a third method in which an acknowledgement response to an acknowledgement response to data received from the duplicating node is received from the duplicating node.
