To connect 2 or more machines:

A sends a broadcast packet, UDP (Broadcast) asking for other peers (Machines)

B Recieves and sends back a TCP packet (One destination) with information

A accepts connection and establishes it. Peer to peer is complete.

Torrent:

Person gets torrent from a tracker, torrent has URL's of trackers in it.

Client connects to tracker and retrieves an IP list of clients having the torrent on them (Thus calling to the same tracker and 'registering').

Client now has a list of other people. Peer to peer is complete.
