Abstract
Methods and systems for a device in a network are disclosed. The methods and systems compare priority data of the device to priority data of a set of other devices in the network. In addition, the methods and systems determine the device has a priority greater than or equal to a priority of each device in the set of other devices based, at least in part, on the comparison. The methods and systems also select the device as an elected device based, at least in part, on the priority determination. In addition, the methods and systems transmit, using the elected device, a Wake-On-LAN command.
Claims19
A method for a device in a network, comprising:
- comparing priority data of the device to priority data of a set of other devices in the network;
- determining the device has a priority greater than or equal to a priority of each device in the set of other devices based, at least in part, on the comparison;
- selecting the device as an elected device based, at least in part, on the priority determination;
- and
- transmitting, using the elected device, a Wake-On-LAN command.
A device in a network, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- program code stored in the memory, which, when executed by the processor, causes the device to perform the steps of:
- comparing priority data of the device to priority data of a set of other devices in the network;
- determining the device has a priority greater than or equal to a priority of each device in the set of other devices based, at least in part, on the comparison;
- selecting the device as an elected device based, at least in part, on the priority determination;
- and
- transmitting, using the elected device, a Wake-On-LAN command.
A method for a device in a network, comprising:
- receiving, at a target device, a Wake-On-LAN command from an elected device, wherein the elected device is selected by:
- comparing priority data of a device to priority data of a set of other devices in the network;
- determining the device has a priority greater than or equal to a priority of each device in the set of other devices based, at least in part, on the comparison;
- selecting the device as the elected device based, at least in part, on the priority determination.
