+/** The role of local or remote peer.
+
+    Whether the endpoint is a client or server affects the
+    behavior of teardown.
+    The teardown behavior also depends on the type of the stream
+    being torn down.
+    
+    The default implementation of teardown for regular
+    TCP/IP sockets is as follows:
+
+    @li In the client role, a TCP/IP shutdown is sent after
+    reading all remaining data on the connection.
+
+    @li In the server role, a TCP/IP shutdown is sent before
+    reading all remaining data on the connection.
+
+    When the next layer type is a `net::ssl::stream`,
+    the connection is closed by performing the SSL closing
+    handshake corresponding to the role type, client or server.
