Detailed Description

A lightweight handle to a connected peer.

Peer is a value passed to callbacks. It carries the peer's id and its route (which reactor + connection). disconnect() uses the route, reaching that exact connection with no directory lookup. send() goes by id instead: it has to consult the directory anyway for the backpressure answer it returns, and by then the peer's current route is the better destination — a handle can outlive the link it names. info() consults the directory on demand too.
