TDLS

TDLS, shortened from Tunneled Direct Link Setup, is "a seamless way to stream media and other data faster between devices already on the same Wi-Fi network." Devices using it communicate directly with one another, without involving the wireless network's router. Wi-Fi Alliance added certification for TDLS in 2012. It describes this feature as technology that enables devices to link directly to one another when connected to a traditional Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED TDLS devices can set up secure links and transfer data directly between them. TDLS-linked devices benefit from an optimized connection to do things such as streaming video or synching content, without burdening the network as a whole. The IEEE has endorsed this as the IEEE 802.11z standard. Google's Cast protocol used by Chromecast utilizes TDLS to initiate screen mirroring.

Not to be confused with DTLS.

For other uses, see Two Dimensional Logarithmic Search and Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy.
