Remarks

A peer name resolver is a discovery service used by peer channels to find peer nodes that participate in a peer mesh. It is also used to "register" a node with a peer mesh, the mechanism by which the peer node becomes known and available from the peer mesh. For more information on peer resolvers, see Peer Resolvers.
