PeerJS requires an intermediate "signaller" to initiate connection between two peers. Soon after two peers know how to reach each other, the signaller waits for a short time and then disconnect itself. This is to free up resources.

Thus, host and client have to reconnect to signaller again to make themselves discoverable by other peers.

A simple peer-to-peer chat room using PeerJS.

This is a sample project to demonstrate P2P connection using PeerJS and PeerJS Server.

The topology of this application can be classified as a star network where the hosting-peer facilitates all communications between client-peer. Note that hosting-peer is also part of the client-peer so it can participates in the chat.
