Bluetooth isn't a reliable or scalable medium for peer to peer communication. Most Android BT radios seem to reliably support only 2/3 connections, and you have to layer a multicast framework on top of it, without rom modifications. It would be really nice to see something like a 0MQ implementation over Android BT, but I doubt this will ever happen, because BT just isn't meant for that. As for chord, it's kind of irrelevant in this case, because you have a topology of at most 3-4 nodes, with a hard bound of seven in a piconet unless you use more exotic routing, which just isn't feasible from the SDK level. kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
