Connecting iOS a set of iOS devices with Wifi network

I'm searching a new way to sync data between iOS devices connected to the same Wi-fi network.

My app uses iCloud to sync its CoreData UIManagedDocument, but iCloud latency is too big for my goals.

Is there some way to connect iOS devices in the same Wi-Fi network with the iOS SDK? Any ideas?

Thanks

From iOS 7, you should look into the Multipeer Connectivity Framework. It allows connections between iOS devices on the same Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth personal area network, and the API is extremely simple to use.

You can use Gamekit to connect with both WiFi and Bluetooth and send data back and forth.

There's an excellent but lengthy tutorial here http://www.raywenderlich.com/12735/how-to-make-a-simple-playing-card-game-with-multiplayer-and-bluetooth-part-1 you should be able to pick out all the connectivity bits.

Any two IP-capable devices can connect to each other using BSD sockets - I've written an Objective-C wrapper to facilitate networking operations like this - here it is.
