Abstract:
Described are examples for indicating a local group identifier for peer-to-peer communications. A generated identifier can be broadcasted, by a device, to multiple other devices accessible in a network. Multiple broadcasted identifiers can also be received, by the device, from at least a portion of the multiple devices in the network. The device can determine the local group identifier based on the generated identifier and one or more of the multiple broadcasted identifiers. The device can report the local group identifier to a peer matching service to facilitate grouping the device with at least the portion of the multiple devices in the network for peer-to-peer communications.
