Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for increasing the overall network performance experienced by a group of devices by forming a dynamic and collaborative cluster of computing devices. In particular, the computing devices within the cluster collectively may identify and leverage the current capabilities of each of the individual members of the cluster to respond efficiently to network resource requests from computing devices inside or outside the cluster. As such, various embodiments provide for a dynamic cluster of computing devices that tailor the responsibilities of the members of the cluster to the current capabilities, capacities, and state of these computing devices. In particular, devices in the cluster may participate dynamically in the cluster to ensure that a device in the cluster that is currently most suited to performing a task is the device selected to perform that task.
