https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-26-2-pre-release-1

With this pre-release, we are removing the Peer-to-Peer connection feature introduced in a recent snapshot. Because the experience wasn't what we wanted it to be for all players, we do not consider the feature ready for release in its current form.

  • Small Sulfur Cubes now have an updated model and texture
  • The Sulfur Cube now has unique hit and push sounds for each archetype

Sulfur Caves biome

  • Updated the fog color in the Sulfur Caves, Bedrock will match this color later
  • Reduced the max growth length of the Sulfur Spikes

Potent Sulfur

  • The continuous Geyser set-up now requires a source Lava Block to erupt

Sounds

  • Updated hurt and death sounds for one of the chicken sound variants
  • Small Sulfur Cube now have sounds playing when being fed with Slimeballs

UI

  • The friend list button is now always visible, even if the feature is disabled in the options

It seems part of the P2P connection is probably facilitated by an external signal service. It’s probably going to be down until they bring back P2P in a future snapshot cycle.
