An apparatus to form a group of communication devices over a distributed network
is claimed. A first node establishes a first channel with a first communication
device. At least one second node establishes at least one second channel with at
least one second communication device. A controller electrically connected to the
first node and the at least one second node comprises a database module. The database
module comprises identification information of each of the communication devices
of the group. The controller is dynamically configurable such that any single communication
device of the group is capable of sending packet data through its respective channel
to the other communication devices of the group.
