thats impossible. If you want P2P communication then you have to create new sockets between the 2 P2P clients directly.

when machine are behind routers or firewalls its hard to establish a p2p socket. You have to use technologies like STUN, TURN and ICE then like SIP and Jingle does. But most of these work only with UDP, not TCP/IP.
