Abstract
A method includes, in a constellation of clients including a first client and a second client, receiving, at the first client, a connection request from the second client, retrieving endpoint reachability data associated with the second client and transmitting, to a server, a connection request based on the endpoint reachability data. The first client receives, from the server and based on the connection request, endpoint reachability information associated with the second client and starts a bidirectional connection with the second client. A direct or indirect tunnel is established between the first client and the second client. The tunnel is set up based on a table which maps a first connectivity option associated with the first client to a second connectivity option associated with the second client to determine whether to establish the direct tunnel or the indirect tunnel between the first client and the second client.
