Abstract:
An indication to determine a device to host at least one shared content found on a first device is received. The first device is connected to a network. The network includes two or more devices. To each device of the two or more devices connected to the network, a request to host the at least one shared content found on the first device is transmitted. Responsive to transmitting the request, a response to host from at least one device of the two or more devices connected to the network is received. An optimal device of the at least one device to host the at least one shared content is determined. The at least one shared content is transmitted to the optimal device.
