/** 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.
