Abstract

This document describes techniques (300, 600, 700) and apparatuses (106, 800) for distributing metadata to peer devices. These techniques (300, 600, 700) and apparatuses (106, 800) enable a receiver device (106) store or create metadata associated with content streamed from one or more peer devices. The receiver device can distribute this metadata to other peer devices thereby enabling identification or procurement of the content at the other peer devices.
