Description John Cortell

LocalPeer and RemotePeer are undocumented and it's not obvious what they represent. The most intuitive definition is that a local peer is one running on "this" machine, and a remote peer is running on "another" machine, but that is not, in fact, what they represent. "local" and "remote" are relative to the agent. If there are five agents running on a machine, each contributing a peer, then from the perspective of any one of those agents, there is one local peer and four remote ones. A peer running on another machine is equally a remote peer. 

Without documentation, I think most TCF newbies will confuse the meaning of these classes.
