I am looking for a Delphi/FireMonkey solution to communicate peer-to-peer (e.g. chat or file transfer) like App Tethering but over a mobile network like 4G. The IP and MAC addresses of all available devices are known by all (e.g. listed on an internet server).

4Mobile networks don't usually allow incoming connections to devices, only outgoing connections from devices, so direct peer-to-peer is difficult to do over mobile. You might have to resort to using a centralized server to act as a proxy between devices that are connected to it. – Remy Lebeau Feb 07 '18 at 18:13

1I've had success using so-called Datasnap heavy weight callbacks on mobile. Give it a try. – Freddie Bell Feb 18 '18 at 15:07
