Abstract
A method including determining, by a first device in communication with a second device in a mesh network, an optimal midpath node to be utilized for communicating meshnet data between the first device and the second device; and transmitting, by the first device to the second device, coordination information including identification information that identifies the optimal midpath node and timing information that indicates a time associated with connecting with the optimal midpath node to enable utilization of the optimal midpath node for communicating the meshnet data. Various other aspects are contemplated.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first device from a second device in a mesh network, coordination information including identification information that identifies an optimal midpath node and timing information that indicates a connection time associated with connecting with the optimal midpath node to enable utilization of the optimal midpath node for communicating meshnet data between the first device and the second device;
- and
- transmitting, by the first device, connection information to connect with the optimal midpath node based at least in part on utilizing the identification information and in association with the connection time.
A first device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the processor being configured to:
- receive, from a second device in a mesh network, coordination information including identification information that identifies an optimal midpath node and timing information that indicates a connection time associated with connecting with the optimal midpath node to enable utilization of the optimal midpath node for communicating meshnet data between the first device and the second device;
- and
- transmit connection information to connect with the optimal midpath node based at least in part on utilizing the identification information and in association with the connection time.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with a first device, cause the processor to:
- receive, from a second device in a mesh network, coordination information including identification information that identifies an optimal midpath node and timing information that indicates a connection time associated with connecting with the optimal midpath node to enable utilization of the optimal midpath node for communicating meshnet data between the first device and the second device;
- and
- transmit connection information to connect with the optimal midpath node based at least in part on utilizing the identification information and in association with the connection time.
