Abstract
A method including receiving, at an infrastructure device from a first device in a mesh network, a request to determine a communication parameter associated with communicating meshnet data with the first device; configuring a transport layer included in a network stack associated with the infrastructure device to determine the communication parameter and to transmit identification information indicating the communication parameter to an application layer included in the network stack; configuring the application layer to determine a response including the identification information; and transmitting, by the infrastructure device, the response to the first device. Various other aspects are contemplated.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at an infrastructure device from a first device in a mesh network, a request to determine a communication parameter associated with communicating meshnet data with the first device;
- configuring a transport layer included in a network stack associated with the infrastructure device to determine the communication parameter and to transmit identification information indicating the communication parameter to an application layer included in the network stack;
- configuring the application layer to determine a response including the identification information;
- and
- transmitting, by the infrastructure device, the response to the first device.
An infrastructure device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the processor being configured to:
- receive, from a first device in a mesh network, a request to determine a communication parameter associated with communicating meshnet data with the first device;
- configure a transport layer included in a network stack associated with the infrastructure device to determine the communication parameter and to transmit identification information indicating the communication parameter to an application layer included in the network stack;
- configure the application layer to determine a response including the identification information;
- and
- transmit the response to the first device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with an infrastructure device, cause the processor to:
- receive, from a first device in a mesh network, a request to determine a communication parameter associated with communicating meshnet data with the first device;
- configure a transport layer included in a network stack associated with the infrastructure device to determine the communication parameter and to transmit identification information indicating the communication parameter to an application layer included in the network stack;
- configure the application layer to determine a response including the identification information;
- and
- transmit the response to the first device.
