    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and machine-readable medium are described for establishing, maintaining and utilizing backup channels in a peer-to-peer ("P2P") network. For example, in one embodiment, each mobile device can establish a primary P2P communication channel with one or more other mobile devices. Once the primary channel is established, each mobile device can use the primary channel to exchange secondary channel connection data and can subsequently open one or more secondary P2P communication channels with the other mobile devices. Upon detecting that the primary P2P communication channel has failed or has degraded below a specified threshold (e.g., a bandwidth or bitrate threshold), one of the secondary P2P communication channels can be automatically promoted to a primary P2P communication channel.

    Abstract translation: 描述了用于在对等(“P2P”)网络中建立,维护和利用备用信道的设备,方法和机器可读介质。 例如,在一个实施例中,每个移动设备可以与一个或多个其他移动设备建立主P2P通信信道。 一旦建立了主要频道,每个移动设备就可以使用主要频道来交换次要频道连接数据,并且随后可以与其他移动设备一起打开一个或多个次要P2P通信频道。 当检测到主要P2P通信信道已经失效或已经劣化到低于指定阈值(例如,带宽或比特率阈值)时,辅助P2P通信信道中的一个可以被自动提升为主要P2P通信信道。
