Dial peer

Have you ever used a telephone to call someone? Good! Now, think of a phone number you know by heart, like your mom's cell phone number. When you dial her number, your phone creates a path for your call to reach her phone. This path is called a "dial peer."

A dial peer is like a guide that tells your phone where to send your call. It's like when you give someone directions to a place they've never been before. Dial peers are used in a telephone system to help route calls to their correct destination.

Think of it like this: When you dial a number, your phone sees that number and translates it into something it can understand. It uses a special code to help find the right path for your call to travel along, just like you'd use a map or GPS to find your way to a place you've never been before.

So, to sum it up, a dial peer is a special code that helps your phone figure out where your call needs to go. It tells your phone which path to follow so that your call reaches the person you're trying to reach.
