You can use the regular Bonjour APIs (NSNetService, etc.) to discover peers, and those work over WiFi or Bluetooth. But they’re lower level and don’t give you the easy message-oriented communication or multicast delivery that MPC does. Basically you get a TCP socket and are left to your own devices to communicate over it. It’s possible someone’s already implemented a library to provide MPC functionality on top of NSNetService, but if so I haven’t heard of it. There are some frameworks for doing 1::1 messaging, though, like my BLIP <https://github.com/couchbaselabs/BLIP-Cocoa>. —Jens
