p2p software requires a meeting point to start with, so that each peer can hook up with each other.
Normally this is a central server (or servers) somewhere, where each peer registers that they are active.
After this any peer can find any other peer through this server, and then start communicating directly via a tcp protocol of their own desire, using a socket.
