Enabling Peer to Peer Services
Peer-to-peer messaging services are a feature of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Such services are created using the NetPeerTcpBinding in code, or the netPeerTcpBinding element in a configuration file. The peer-to-peer message model depends on the presence of a resolver. The resolver registers participants in a mesh, and functions as a central point for all messaging operations. You can create a custom resolver (see Peer Channel Custom Peer Resolver), or use the Windows peer-to-peer resolver. To use the Windows resolver on, you must install it.
