Explanation (?): |
The peer name resolution protocol service provides Windows a pseudo serverless based name resolution system that runs through TCP/IP version 6 (IPv6). A seed server is used to populate a peer cloud and these peers hold onto a portion of the name record. This service is installed when you install IPv6 so if you want to disable this service then I would suggest just uninstalling IPv6 from add / remove programs in the control panel. |
