The HomeGroup Protocol is used to create a trust relationship that facilitates the advertising and publishing of content between machines via a peer-to-peer infrastructure.<1><2> This relationship is achieved with the use of Web Services on Devices (WSD) and a PeerGroup infrastructure. There is no client-server relationship in this protocol; in order to participate in a homegroup, all machines implement the protocol in the same manner. For more information, see [HomeGroupOvw].
