Disclosed herein are techniques to enable discovery of P2P capable devices and associated network connection information. In some embodiments, an information element is included in a transmitted request to indicate a request for network connection information from another wireless device. The device may respond with indications of the requested network connection information. Network connectivity capability determined from the network connection information may be used to decide whether to setup a Wi-Fi Direct link or a Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS), or whether to use an AP infrastructure link with the other device.
