Many people wanna give "Peer" a good kick in the ass. "Peer" is just the server you are connected to. The server will ping you every once in a while to make sure you're still there. Imagine this as the guy in the sad-ass Verizon commercial.
Server: Can you hear me now?
Client: Yes!
Server: Good!

But when there is no reply, the server disconnects you. Or, in this case, the Verizon punk would hang up.
Server: Can you hear me now?
Server: Hello? Can you hear me?
Server: Is anyone there?
[[Server hangs up]]
