====== Peer ======
[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

A **Peer** is a node that provides the same functionality as another. For example, two [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:desktop]] computers in a network are peers. A desktop computer and a server are not peers, as they perform different operations. The desktop computer may query the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:server]] for business data, but the server does not query the computer for the same data.
