ID Required. A String value. ID of the remote peer you're expecting to connect.

Remarks

The Listen method will put TCPHandler in listening state - allowing remote peer to connect using Connect method. You can call Listen method on both sides, and then call also Connect on both sides - trying to connect to each other.

This method will return local TCP port used for listening. If you did not set LocalTCPPort prior to calling this method, new free port will be assigned.
