    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for identifying a LAN sync candidate are disclosed. A synchronized content management system may receive a request from a first client device to synchronize a content item. The synchronized content management system may identify a second client device that has a current copy of the content item. The second client device may belong in the same local area network as the first client device. The second client device can be identified based on a characteristic of the LAN as well as the public and local addresses of the first and second client devices. The synchronized content management system can send a LAN sync instruction to the first client device. The instruction may identify the second client device as a LAN sync candidate. The first client device may then initiate LAN sync by requesting synchronization of the content item from the second client device.

    Abstract translation: 公开了用于识别LAN同步候选的系统,方法和计算机可读存储介质。 同步的内容管理系统可以接收来自第一客户端设备的同步内容项目的请求。 同步的内容管理系统可以标识具有内容项的当前副本的第二客户端设备。 第二客户端设备可以属于与第一客户端设备相同的局域网。 可以基于LAN的特性以及第一和第二客户端设备的公共和本地地址来识别第二客户端设备。 同步的内容管理系统可以向第一客户端设备发送LAN​​同步指令。 指令可以将第二客户端设备识别为LAN同步候选。 然后,第一客户端设备可以通过请求来自第二客户端设备的内容项目的同步来启动LAN同步。
