Ad-hoc device sharing over a network

The subject technology discloses implementations for an ad-hoc sharing service that provides a solution for end-to-end connectivity of one or more master computing devices to access different resources of one or more host computing devices that are available to be utilized (e.g., depending on the desired usage of the master computing device(s) and the respective capabilities of each device). Example resources on a given device include, but are not limited to, display, audio, network, storage, processing, input and output peripherals, etc. The ad-hoc sharing service can initially determine available resources of each device for sharing.
