According to one embodiment, a connection is established between a first communication device and a second communication device in accordance with one or more communication layers. Each communication layer is associated with a standard structure and protocol. An ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol are determined at the first communication device. The ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol are communicated to the second communication device. One or more of the standard structures and/or protocols are replaced at the first communication device with the ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol responsive to the second communication device acknowledging acceptance of the ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol.
