Once it's established there is no difference between the two peers. This is not a TCP connection  ;)

Depending on the hardware/software on the other side there are sometimes problems with establishing the connection, it's good to know which side is the problematic one.
Too bad theres no way to see this in the gui, so i'll have to check the logs.
