Answer 1

you can use socket to connect between two peers in the same network. for instance create a server socket on one of the peers on any port and then from the client side connect to that port on the other user . then you can use this socket connection to send strings, file whatever you want.

for starters i would recommend you employ the server socket on the group owner so it will be easier on your client side to get the ip of the peer(i.e group owner) using the groupOwnerAddress field provided by the api
