Connection Strategy
Nearby Connections supports different strategies for advertising and discovery. The best strategy to use depends on the use case.
Entries
The cluster strategy is a peer-to-peer strategy that supports an M-to-N, or cluster-shaped, connection topology. In other words, this enables connecting amorphous clusters of devices within radio range (~100m), where each device can both initiate outgoing connections to M other devices and accept incoming connections from N other devices.
The star strategy is a peer-to-peer strategy that supports a 1-to-N, or star-shaped, connection topology. In other words, this enables connecting devices within radio range (~100m) in a star shape, where each device can, at any given time, play the role of either a hub (where it can accept incoming connections from N other devices), or a spoke (where it can initiate an outgoing connection to a single hub), but not both.
The point-to-point strategy is a peer-to-peer strategy that supports a 1-to-1 connection topology. In other words, this enables connecting devices within radio range (~100m) with the highest possible throughput, but does not allow for more than a single connection at a time.
