Abstract
Techniques for peer to peer sharing of files in a mobile environment are provided. In response to meeting a communication parameter of a second device, a processing device may determine whether the second device will maintain the communication parameter with a first device for at least a threshold amount of time. An amount of data that can be transferred between the first and second devices during a transfer window with the second device may be determined. Software manifests of the first and second devices may be compared to determine a set of software of the first device that need to be updated. A number of chunks for a first software of the set of software may be received from the second device, the number of chunks based on the amount of data that can be transferred between the first and second devices during the transfer window.
