Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes establishing, by a second processing system, a first connection with a first processing system. The method further includes receiving, by the second processing system, a first postcard from the first processing system via the first connection, the first postcard comprising information associated with the first processing system. The method further includes establishing, by the second processing system, a second connection with a third processing system. The method further includes transmitting, by the second processing system, a second postcard to the third processing system via the second connection, the second postcard comprising information associated with the second processing system. The method further includes transmitting, by the second processing system, the first postcard to the third processing system via the second connection.

Connecting computer processing systems and transmitting data

Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes assigning each of a plurality of processing systems to one of a plurality of groups. Each group of the plurality of groups cycles, based on an offset time period, between an advertiser state, a listener state, and a sleep state. The method further includes connecting a first processing system of a first group of the plurality of groups to a second processing system of a second group of the plurality of groups when the first group is in one of the listener state or the advertiser state and the second group is in the other of the listener state or the advertiser state.

Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes converting, by a first processing system, a binary data stream into a string using encoding. The method further includes advertising, by the first processing system, standard characteristics to a second processing system. The method further includes receiving, by the first processing system, a request from the second processing system for a payload size and payload characteristics for the data to be transmitted from the first processing system to the second processing system. The method further includes transmitting, by the first processing system, the payload size and the payload characteristics to the second processing system.
