When the game starts it immediately starts looking for other games on the local network. As soon as one appears, the two connect and begin playing. No need for menus, servers, sharing ips, just run the executable and you're playing. Of course this wouldn't work over the internet (or any complex network) due to firewalls/NATS/etc getting in the way and Peer-to-peer is very susceptible to cheating. But for simple LAN games this works very nice.
