Optimizing meshnet connections in a mesh network

Abstract

A method including monitoring, by a first device in communication with a second device in a mesh network, a triggering event associated with optimizing a meshnet connection utilized by the first device and the second device to communicate meshnet data; comparing, by the first device based at least in part on determining an occurrence of the triggering event, a threshold value with a measured value associated with a communication condition associated with communicating the meshnet data via the meshnet connection; and transmitting, by the first device to the second device based at least in part on a result of the comparing, coordination information including identification information that identifies an optimal midpath node and timing information that indicates a connection time associated with connecting with the optimal midpath node for optimizing the meshnet connection. Various other aspects are contemplated.
