Abstract

In an approach to facilitating data transmission utilizing peer-to-peer communications and wireless ad hoc networks, one or more computer processors detect one or more data transmission failures. The one or more computer processors rank the one or more detected data transmission failures. The one or more computer processors detect one or more subsequent devices. The one or more computer processors determine one or more statuses associated with the detected one or more subsequent devices. The one or more computer processors the one or more detected subsequent devices based on the determined the determined statuses. The one or more computer processors match the one or more ranked data transmission failures with the one or more ranked subsequent devices. The one or more computer processors transmit the one or more data transmission failures with one or more matched subsequent devices.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

detecting, by one or more computer processors, multiple failed data transmissions associated with an originating device,
wherein each failed data transmission contains data packets intended for one or more destination servers;
ranking, by the one or more computer processors, the multiple detected failed data transmissions to obtain multiple ranked failed data transmissions;
detecting, by the one or more computer processors, at least two devices,
wherein each of the at least two detected devices provides transmission to a downstream network or failed data transmission storage;
determining, by the one or more computer processors, a status for each detected device;
ranking, by the one or more computer processors, the at least two detected devices based on the determined statuses to obtain at least two ranked devices;
matching, by the one or more computer processors, one or more ranked failed data transmissions of the multiple ranked failed data transmissions with one or more ranked devices to obtain one or more matched devices,
wherein the matching is based on the respective ranks of the one or more ranked failed data transmissions and the one or more ranked devices,
wherein the one or more ranked devices are selected from the at least two ranked devices;
and
transmitting, by the one or more computer processors, the one or more failed data transmissions to a matched device of the one or more matched devices.

9 more elements

program instructions to rank the at least two detected devices based on the determined statuses to obtain at least two ranked devices;
program instructions to match one or more ranked failed data transmissions of the multiple ranked failed data transmissions with one or more ranked devices to obtain one or more matched devices,
wherein the match is based on the respective ranks of the one or more ranked failed data transmissions and the one or more ranked devices,
wherein the one or more ranked devices are selected from the at least two ranked devices;
and
program instructions to transmit the one or more failed data transmissions to a matched device of the one or more matched devices.

10 more elements
