I would suggest taking a look at the eap_example subdirectory in the Git
tree. It has a small example application that shows how to use EAP
server and peer code in other applications. This example sends data
internally within the same process, but it should be easy to separate
the peer and server parts into separate programs and to use whatever
connection you want. The README file in that directory has some
additional documentation of the needed changes.
