1. A method comprising:

  • determining, at a first peer device, a reliability level of a connection during a learning duration at instances in a communication session, the learning duration being a first length of time the first peer device monitors the connection,wherein the connection is established between the first peer device and a second peer device using a key establishment and management protocol, andwherein the reliability level is determined in view of reliability criteria;

    adjusting, at the first peer device, a second length of time between the instances of the learning duration in view of an increase or decrease in the reliability level of the connection during the learning duration;

    determining, at the first peer device, an updated reliability level of the connection in view of the adjusted second length of time; and

    changing the key establishment and management protocol in view of the updated reliability level, wherein the key establishment and management protocol comprises at least one of a protocol for managing a usage level for a resource of the first peer device or a protocol for managing the connection between the first peer device and the second peer device.
