Service discovery and topology management

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A source device of a wireless local area network (WLAN) may identify one or more attributes of a first wireless link and a second wireless link between the source device and a sink device of the WLAN. The one or more attributes may be compared with a source device connection policy associated with a streaming protocol. The source device may determine whether to establish a streaming session with the sink device over the first wireless link or the second wireless link based at least in part on the comparing.
