Abstract
A method for transmitting messages between a first networked device and a second networked device via a local network provided by a local network access point is disclosed. The method involves on the first networked device, determining whether the second networked device meets local communications criteria by determining at least one of whether the second networked device is accessible via the local network at a local network address, and whether the second networked device has registered for communications via local networks. The method also involves, in response to a determination that the second networked device meets the local communications criteria, transmitting the message via the local network access point to the local network address associated with the second networked device.
