PEER_OBJECT structure (p2p.h)

The PEER_OBJECT structure contains application-specific run-time information that can be shared with trusted contacts within a peer collaboration network.

Syntax

typedef struct peer_object_tag {
  GUID      id;
  PEER_DATA data;
  DWORD     dwPublicationScope;
} PEER_OBJECT, *PPEER_OBJECT;

Members

id

GUID value under which the peer object is uniquely registered.

data

PEER_DATA structure that contains information which describes the peer object.

dwPublicationScope

PEER_PUBLICATION_SCOPE enumeration value that specifies the publication scope for this peer object.

Remarks

Peer objects are run-time data items associated with a particular application, such as a picture or avatar, a certificate, or a specific description. Each peer object must be smaller than 16K in size.

Trusted contacts watching this peer object will have a PEER_EVENT_OBJECT_CHANGED event raised on them signaling this peer object's change in status.

Peer object information is contained in the data member of this structure and represented as a byte buffer with a maximum size of 16K.

The lifetime of a peer object is tied to the lifetime of the application that registered it.
