Peers
For DUNDi to work, each DUNDi client has to know at least one other DUNDi client. Since these DUNDi clients belong to the same network, they are called peers. Also at least one of the reachable peers must know how to reach the wanted extension.
In the DUNDi configuration one can limit the number of consecutive lookups between peers by setting the TTL.
- A TTL of 1 means you only can ask the peers you know and they cannot ask further.
- A TTL of n means that the peer you ask for a lookup can redirect your lookup to the peers it knows, only with a TTL of n-1.

Famous quotes containing the word peers:
“each new victim treads unfalteringly
The never altered circuit of his fate,
Bringing twelve peers as witness
Both to his starry rise and starry fall.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents. They have loved and been loved by people whom they now must betray to fit into peer culture. Furthermore, they are discouraged by peers from expressing sadness at the loss of family relationships—even to say they are sad is to admit weakness and dependency.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“He could not have been tried by a jury of his peers, because his peers did not exist.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
