[zeromq-dev] zyre

[Utsav Drolia]

Apart from other discovery methods, have you thought of other communication technologies?
For example, wifi-direct, Wifi 802.11z (TDLS), or bluetooth (if the data consists of small messages).

I know adhoc-wifi is pretty much shot on most devices - but wifi-direct is available (at least on Android).
Given the way wifi-direct works, zyre should work on it the exact same way it works over wifi access points.
The only issue with wifi-direct on Android is the annoying pop-up to accept the connection every time a new connection takes place.
