Not normally, it's a bit difficult to programmatically do anything with it.
 It might be useful for statistics, i.e. how many peers have crashed or how
many hard network faults have occurred.

Peers are other nodes on the network (by having the same data-destination
port), they can currently preempt each other to request the network layer
address from a particular source.  In larger networks peers can preempt
requesting source retransmissions.

It's easier to think of PGM as a big soup where anyone can send and receive.
 ZeroMQ only supports send-only and receive-only PGM transports though.
