Peer Class
This class represents a remote peer.
Assembly: System.Net (in System.Net.dll)
The purpose of the abstract Peer class is to provide a common base class definition that can be shared by derived classes such as PeerNearMe and PeerContact. It cannot be directly constructed, since it is abstract. Developers should use the subclasses PeerNearMe or PeerContact instead.
Contact, peer, remote peer, PeerNearMe, LocalContact, and PeerContact are synonymous terms, based on context.
"Calling peer" and "remote peer" are commonly synonymous. Calling peer does not refer to the application calling a given method.
