If you’re a PSP developer and/or considering developing wifi-enabled applications for the PSP, you might find this Adhoc Matching Diagram helpful. While it doesn’t explain everything in detail, it provides general idea on the steps that the generic PSP wi-fi enabled application takes, when setting up matching.
Ad-hoc matching is the initial step of setting up communication between PSP units – selecting which machines are going to participate in a communication session. It generally entails sending connection requests, and simultaneously listening for connection-related events (such as incoming connection requests). Because communication is peer-to-peer, the notion of host/client is implied – usually the machine requesting a connection is considered the client, while the machine receiving the connection request is the host.
I'm a programmer with too much interest in too many programming languages, and not enough time.
