\subsection{Start a peer}
Each GNUnet instance (called peer) has an identity (\textit{peer ID}) based on a
cryptographic public private key pair. The peer ID is the printable hash of the
-public key. So before starting the peer, you may want to just generate the peer's private
-key using the command
+public key.
+
+GNUnet services are controlled by a master service the so called \textit{Automatic Restart Manager} (ARM).
+ARM starts, stops and even restarts services automatically or on demand when a client connects.
+You interact with the ARM service using the \lstinline|gnunet-arm| tool.
+GNUnet can then be started with \lstinline|gnunet-arm -s| and stopped with
+\lstinline|gnunet-arm -e|. An additional service not automatically started
+can be started using \lstinline|gnunet-arm -i <service name>| and stopped
+using \lstinline|gnunet-arm -k <servicename>|.
+
+Once you have started your peer, you can use many other GNUnet commands
+to interact with it. For example, you can run:
\lstset{language=bash}
\begin{lstlisting}
-$ gnunet-peerinfo -c ~/peer1.conf -s
+$ gnunet-peerinfo -s
\end{lstlisting}
+to obtain the public key of your peer.
You should see an output containing the peer ID similar to:
\lstset{language=bash}
\begin{lstlisting}
I am peer `0PA02UVRKQTS2C .. JL5Q78F6H0B1ACPV1CJI59MEQUMQCC5G'.
\end{lstlisting}

In this section, we will monitor the behaviour of our peer's DHT service with respect to a
