Abstract
A device may receive a peer-to-peer communication, receive a capability of a second device associated with the peer-to-peer communication, and provide instructions to adjust a peer-to-peer communication based on the capability of the device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- intercepting, by a first network device, a first peer-to-peer communication that is part of a peer-to-peer communication session between a first device capable of peer-to-peer communication and a second device capable of peer-to-peer communication, the peer-to-peer communication session forwarded to a second network device by the first network device based on determining the first peer-to-peer communication comprises peer-to-peer data;
- determining, by the second network device, a compatibility of a capability of the peer-to-peer communication session;
- providing, by the second network device, based on the compatibility, instructions to the first device to adjust a first characteristic of a second peer-to-peer communication to the second device during the peer-to-peer communication session in a manner that is compatible with the second device;
- and
- adjusting by the second network device, a second characteristic of a received portion of a third peer-to-peer communication from the second device in a manner that is compatible with the first device based on the compatibility.

A network device comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and a
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes instructions and performs operations comprising:
- receiving a first peer-to-peer communication that is part of a peer-to-peer communication session between a first device capable of peer-to-peer communication and a second device capable of peer-to-peer communication;
- determining a compatibility of a capability of the peer-to-peer communication session;
- providing, based on the compatibility, instructions to the first device to adjust a first characteristic of a second peer-to-peer communication to the second device during the peer-to-peer communication session in a manner that is compatible with a second device;
- and
- adjusting a second characteristic of a received portion of a third peer-to-peer communication from the second device in a manner that is compatible with the first device based on the compatibility.

A system comprising:
- a first mobile device configured to send a first peer-to-peer communication;
- a second mobile device configured to send a second peer-to-peer communication;
- a first network device configured to forward the first peer-to-peer communication to a second network device after determining the first peer-to-peer communication comprises peer-to-peer data;
- and
- a second network device configured with instructions comprising:
- receiving a first peer-to-peer communication that is part of a peer-to-peer communication session between the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
- determining a compatibility of a capability of the peer-to-peer communication session;
- providing, based on the compatibility, instructions to the first mobile device to adjust a first characteristic of a second peer-to-peer communication to the second mobile device during the peer-to-peer communication session in a manner that is compatible with the second mobile device;
- and
- adjusting a second characteristic of a received portion of a third peer-to-peer communication from the second mobile device in a manner that is compatible with the first mobile device based on the compatibility.
