ManualManualManualManualManualDisabledDisabled

Explanation (?):
The peer networking identity manager provides the ability for Windows to identify peers when using TCP/IP version 6 (IPv6). I imagine this works with the various other peer services and the function of this service is most likely to contact the seed server to find additional peers. If you don't need this service then you most likely don't need IPv6 and you should remove the entire package from add / remove programs in the control panel.

"Every nation has a right to govern itself internally under what forms it pleases, and to change these forms at its own will; and externally to transact business with other nations through whatever organ it chooses, whether that be a King, Convention, Assembly, Committee, President, or whatever it be. The only thing essential is, the will of the nation." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 1792. ME 9:7
