Give qualcomm alljoyn a try: http://developer.qualcomm.com/dev/alljoyn-p2p

I saw them presenting it at droidcon uk and it looked promising.

Hope this helps.

It does look promising, although it might be a while before its ready:

"In future releases, it will be possible to use AllJoyn over Wi-Fi
without pre-integration."

This sounds great too. I admit I am not much of a network programmer,
but . . .

It seems I could create a java.net.MultiCastSocket bound to a
fictitious multicast IP address on known port, then start sending and
receiving datagrams.

Am I being too optimistic? Is there much more to it than that?

It does.

"Presently, MeshApp is designed to run on top of olsrd (an ad-hoc
routing protocol daemon) and work natively with rooted Android mobile
devices and the Nokia N900"

A rooted Android device may not be an acceptable requirement.

If the MultiCastSocket solution works, I'm inclined to use it for
reasons of simplicity.
