You can do either. What you do is up to your requirements.

But, keep in mind that any workstation version of Windows will only allow 10 inbound connections max. So, if you opt for having client to client connections, each client will be limited to a maximum of 10 other clients talking directly to it.

A better way would be to route all traffic through a central server that maintains a conversion session so you don't run into the 10 connection limit. Server editions of Winodws don't have this restriction.
