Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes determining that network connectivity does not exist for a mobile data network. The computer-implemented method further includes initiating, via a wireless peer to peer communication protocol, a scan request to identify one or more peer devices, wherein each of one or more peer devices have a readiness score. The computer-implemented method further includes generating a routing table. The routing table includes the one or more peer devices located within a threshold distance. The computer-implemented method further includes generating a forwarding table. The forwarding table includes the one or more peer devices of the routing table that have a readiness score that exceeds a given threshold. The computer-implemented method further includes transmitting a data packet to each of the one or more peer devices of the forwarding table. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed.
