Establishing connections between nodes based on a predetermined sequence of path knocks being performed

Abstract

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes determining whether a predetermined sequence of knocks has been performed by a requesting node to other nodes of a network along existing paths between the requesting node and the other nodes. In response to a determination that the predetermined sequence of knocks has been performed, a connection is established between the requesting node and a first of the other nodes. A computer program product, according to another embodiment, includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method. A system, according to another embodiment, includes a processor, and logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor. The logic is configured to perform the foregoing method.
