Adaptive mechanism for network communication

A server device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive, from an access device, first registration information indicating a first access technology used by a first subnet of a source device to connect to a network via the access device;
• receive, second registration information indicating a second access technology used by a second subnet of a destination device to connect to the network;
• determine, based at least in part on the first access technology of the first subnet and the second access technology of the second subnet, whether pub-sub based forwarding is to be used at the access device to forward data traffic from the source device of the first subnet to the destination device of the second subnet via the network;
• and
• based at least in part on determining whether the pub-sub based forwarding is to be used, send, to the access device, instructions to forward the data traffic using the pub-sub based forwarding.

A method comprising:

• receiving first registration information for a source device, the first registration information indicating a first access technology used by a first subnet of the source device to connect to a network;
• receiving second registration information for a destination device, the second registration information indicating a second access technology used by a second subnet of the destination device to connect to the network;
• and
• based at least in part on the first access technology and the second access technology, determining a pub-sub based forwarding mechanism for an access device to forward data traffic from the source device of the first subnet to the destination device of the second subnet across the network.
