By now we all know it. 
I assume your question is about BGP peers. BGP peers are routers that have a BGP connection between them. (Note that the connection may be in any state).
Is it better now? | |

| a "peer" is also known as a "neighbor" | |
|
| I understood. thanks both very much

I can understood peer in BGP field now thanks
but I sure I saw this word before in many situations and it has another means that is hard to comprehend, I will post it if I met it again.

| Basically "peer" means "equal" (go to www.dictionary.com and look for "peer"). In networking this is opposed to the "client-server" paradigm, where one side (the client) is "in charge", and the other side (the server) does what it is told to do.
AFAIK (<-- this means "as far as I know"  ) the most common use for the term "peer" is in BGP. I think they use "peer" to emphasize that BGP routers are "equal in rights"; there's not a client and a server.
HTH (<-- this means "hope this helps" ) | |
