In the next chapter, you start examining the JXTA platform in detail by looking at the Peer Discovery Protocol and its components.Your familiarity with the JXTA Shell will come in handy by providing a framework for the examples, thereby reducing the amount of coding required and allowing the examples to focus on the particulars of peer discovery.
