Abstract
A peer configuration system provides a configuration file via peer-to-peer networking. A master device stores a peer configuration. Whenever any peer device requires configuration, the peer device assumes a slave role and queries the master device to retrieve the peer configuration. The peer configuration is thus propagated via peer-to-peer networking to the peer device. The peer device boots-up using the peer configuration retrieved from the master device.
