1. A method comprising:
in response to coming within communication range of a second device, determining by a first device, whether the second device will remain in communication range with the first device for at least a threshold amount of time based on a speed and direction of the first device and the second device, wherein the first and second devices are part of a domain;
in response to determining that the second device will remain in communication range with the first device for at least the threshold amount of time, determining an amount of data that can be transferred from the second device to the first device during a transfer window with the second device;
comparing, by a processing device, a package manifest of the first device with a package manifest of the second device to determine a set of packages of the first device that need to be updated; and
receiving, from the second device, a number of chunks for a first package of the set of packages of the first device based on the amount of data that can be transferred from the second device to the first device during the transfer window with the second device.
