# PeerNetworkId

Enum representing the peer network ID. Used for broadcasting to the P2P network and can be used to determine the parent of a subnet.

***

### Usage

```ts
import { PeerNetworkId } from '@stacks/network';

if (network.peerNetworkId === PeerNetworkId.Mainnet) {
  console.log('Connected to mainnet peer network');
}
```

#### Notes

* For mainnet/testnet, the `v2/info` response `.network_id` refers to the chain ID, not the peer network ID.
* For subnets, `.network_id` refers to the peer network ID.
* The `.parent_network_id` refers to the actual peer network ID of the parent in both cases.
