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."
