Test Peer-to-Peer

Disclaimer

In the spirit of full disclosure and due to my utter laziness in coming up with the bulk of the boilerplate code, I turned to ChatGPT.
You can see the series of prompts and answers I've got in the research folder.

This is an attempt at a very basic peer class that can participate on a Peer-to-Peer( P2P ) network.

It will not have peer discovery via UDP broadcast, nor will it have any DHT features.

Just a simple message exchange protocol in a P2P context.

Todo

• The TPeer class, at the moment, does not need to be a thread
• Hook up event for data received from connection thread to the internal peer method
• Add a property to allow hooking to data received from outside of the peer
• Hook up event for connection removal from connection thread to peer
• Understand if a connection needs to be disconnected when being removed
• Implement command line switch --connect-to
• Ponder having a Ping/Pong immediately before a connection is about to timeout
