# peerToPeerIncluded(_:)

Include peer-to-peer interfaces when connecting, listening, and browsing.

## Declaration

```swift
func peerToPeerIncluded(_ included: Bool) -> Self
```

## Parameters

- `included`: True if peer-to-peer interfaces should be included, false otherwise.

## Discussion

Discussion important: Connections, Listeners, and Browsers using peer-to-peer interfaces can consume significantly more power and should not be kept running for longer than necessary. Peer-to-peer link technologies can be power-intensive. If a connection or listener with this flag enabled remains idle for an extended period, the system may return a kDNSServiceErr_AWDLTimeout error, transitioning it to a failed state that yields no further results. Any retry mechanism should implement exponential backoff or similar rate-limiting to avoid prolonged power drain. This will not take effect if a specific interface is required. Applicable when advertising a Bonjour service on a listener, or connecting to a Bonjour service.
