Peer group
From Free net encyclopedia
A peer group is a group of people of approximately the same age, social status, and interests. Some groups are socialized by peers rather than by their families or conventional institutions. They define themselves as a gang.
In Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Architecture, a peer group is a group of functional units in a given layer of a network in which all the functions performed by the functional units extend throughout the system at the same layer.
