i'm pretty sure the parent is incorrect in describing TCP as a P2P protocol. TCP (like HTTP or IMAP) has strongly defined client and server roles, the two ends of the connection do not act as peers. P2P should mean that neither end of the connection is taking a specific role, there's no end that could really be classed as server or client.
