Methods and systems for implementing wake-on-LAN

摘要

Methods and systems for a device in a network are disclosed. The methods and systems compare priority data of the device to priority data of a set of other devices in the network. In addition, the methods and systems determine the device has a priority greater than or equal to a priority of each device in the set of other devices based, at least in part, on the comparison. The methods and systems also select the device as an elected device based, at least in part, on the priority determination. In addition, the methods and systems transmit, using the elected device, a Wake-On-LAN command.

1. A method for a device in a network, comprising:
comparing priority data of the device to priority data of a set of other devices in the network, wherein the priority data reflects, at least in part, a likelihood of being connected to the network; determining the device has a priority greater than or equal to a priority of each device in the set of other devices based, at least in part, on the comparison; selecting the device as an elected device based, at least in part, on the priority determination; and transmitting, using the elected device, a Wake-On-LAN command to a target device within a sub-network or virtual local area network associated with the elected device; wherein comparing the priority data occurs in response to determining an unavailability of a previously selected elected device.
