Ok so from all my research I'm fairly positive P2P is not possible in Silverlight 4 (in browser).

Flash can do P2P using Stratus/RTMFP which I believe uses UDP hole punching and a Stratus server to help initialize the connection.

Is there any plans for Microsoft to add some kind of p2p rendezvous service in the future? Can we get a definitive yes/no on whether or not p2p is possible in SL4.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for (as I'm late to the party for this older question), but CodePlex has a P2P library -- though it looks as though this library has a dependency on Window Live Messenger.

Assuming your Silverlight 4 app doesn't have to be cross-platform to Mac, you may be able to get to the Winsock APIs either directly or through some sort of COM wrapper.

No, you cannot get a definitive answer about future Silverlight features up on StackOverflow.

If you're interested in seeing this feature implemented I suggest you vote open up a Connect Issue and vote up the UserVoice issue.

    "Can we get a definitive yes/no on whether or not p2p is possible in SL4." I didn't ask for a definitive answer about the future. – Paul Apr 23 '10 at 20:22
