[bt-spec] Issue 17: Use of the word 'peer'

[Tony Fletcher <tony.fletcher@choreology.com>]

Dear Colleagues,

 

Issue 17: Use of word "peer"

Status: open (22 Nov 2001)
Date added: 8 Nov 2001
Category: editorial
Submitter: Gordon Hamilton, AppliedTheory
Reference: Page 25 Para last Sentence 1
Description: Does the word "peer" need a definition? The first reference is :
BTP recovery requires that the state information for a Superior or Inferior is accessible after failure and that the peer can distinguish between temporary inaccessibility and the permanent non-existence of the state information.

 

Proposed Solution:

Add to the glossary

 

 Peer : The other party in a two-party relationship, as in Superior to Inferior, or Sender to Receiver

 

 

Best Regards     Tony
