is it possible to replicate directly between two pouchDB databases?

Question

As per the question title, is it possible to replicate directly between two PouchDB databases? I.e. without the PouchDB instances having to communicate through an intermediary CouchDB server?

I have looked through the PouchDB API Replication documentation but could not see anything to suggest that a PouchDB instance can act in the role of a CouchDB server for replications.

No, it's not possible. In fact even peer-to-peer systems need an intermediary so they can at least find each other.

The closest thing to a p2p PouchDB out there right now is PeerPouch, but that also requires a CouchDB.
