Re: [bt-spec] BTP Issue 17 : Use of word "peer"

[Mark Little <mcl@arjuna.com>]

 

Just old OSI terminology that wandered in I'm afraid. It's used in about a dozen places, usually in relation to the recovery. Alternative wording could be found for those, but I'd prefer to include in the glossary:

 

Peer : the other party in a two-party relationship, as in Supeior to Inferior, or Sender to Receiver. 

I agree. Whatever word we came up with it'd probably need a specific definition in the glossary anyway.

 

Mark.
