Abstract
There is provided a system and method for transmitting a data packet from a transmitting device to a destination device using an intermediary device. The transmitting device configured to determine an identity of the destination device, generate an announcement message that includes the identity of the destination device, transmit the announcement message to an intermediary device, receive an acknowledgement message from the intermediary device in response to transmitting the announcement message to the intermediary device, and transmit the data packet to the intermediary device for delivery to the destination device.
Claims20
A transmitting device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine an identity of a destination device;
- generate an announcement message that includes the identity of the destination device;
- transmit the announcement message to an intermediary device;
- receive an acknowledgement message from the intermediary device in response to transmitting the announcement message to the intermediary device;
- and
- transmit a data packet to the intermediary device for delivery to the destination device.
A system for transmitting a data packet across a plurality of devices, the system comprising:
- a transmitting device;
- an intermediary device;
- and
- a destination device;
- the transmitting device configured to:
- generate a first announcement message including an identity of the destination device;
- and
- transmit the first announcement message to the intermediary device;
- the intermediary device configured to:
- receive the first announcement from the transmitting device;
- generate a second announcement message using the identity of the destination device obtained from the first announcement message;
- and
- transmit the second announcement to the destination device;
- the destination device configured to:
- receive the second announcement message from the intermediary device.
A method for transmitting a data packet from a transmitting device, the method comprising:
- determining an identity of a destination device;
