Characteristics of Seeders versus Leeches

You can consider seeders to be “servers” for the space, and leeches to be “clients.”

However, because applications can join a space as seeders, effectively embedding ActiveSpaces inside the application process, an application joining a space as a seeder is both a server and a client. The role played by an application is on a per space basis: a single application might be a seeder on one space and a leech on another space.
