+Attributes of the `peer.*` namespace are deprecated, and they used to provide a way to describe any operation that accesses some remote service.
+The `peer.service` attribute harkens back from OpenTracing, and has not been updated to match the `service.name` and `service.namespace` resource attributes to describe a service.
 Users can define what the name of a service is based on their particular semantics in their distributed system.

 **[2] `service.name`:** MUST be the same for all instances of horizontally scaled services. If the value was not specified, SDKs MUST fallback to `unknown_service:` concatenated with [`process.executable.name`](process.md), e.g. `unknown_service:bash`. If `process.executable.name` is not available, the value MUST be set to `unknown_service`.
 
 **[3] `service.namespace`:** A string value having a meaning that helps to distinguish a group of services, for example the team name that owns a group of services. `service.name` is expected to be unique within the same namespace. If `service.namespace` is not specified in the Resource then `service.name` is expected to be unique for all services that have no explicit namespace defined (so the empty/unspecified namespace is simply one more valid namespace). Zero-length namespace string is assumed equal to unspecified namespace.
