Abstract

A first computing device and a second computing device may both be located behind the same gateway. The first computing device and the second computing device may not be part of a same local area network. Accordingly, the first computing device and the second computing device may not be discoverable to each other via standard layer two discovery protocols. The first computing device may be a tunneled device and the second computing device may be a non-tunneled device. Accordingly, the first computing device and the second computing device may not be discoverable to each other via standard layer three discovery protocols. Described herein are systems and methods for performing IP packet manipulation to facilitate a local discovery session between the first computing device and the second computing device.
