     2  
     3  This section provides essential information about the ports used by the system, their primary purposes, and recommendations for exposure settings.
     4  
     5  ## Peering Ports
     6  
     7  - **Port:** 61016
     8  - **Protocol:** TCP
     9  - **Purpose:** Peering with other nodes for synchronization of blockchain data. Nodes communicate through this port to maintain network consensus and share updated information.
    10  - **Exposure Recommendation:** This port should be exposed to enable seamless interaction and synchronization with other nodes in the network.
    11  
    12  
    13  - **Port:** 61015
    14  - **Protocol:** UDP
    15  - **Purpose:** Peering discovery other peering using DiscoveryV5 protocol.
    16  
    17  ## Metrics Port
    18  
    19  - **Port:** 6060
    20  - **Protocol:** TCP
    21  - **Purpose:** This port is designated for serving metrics related to the system's performance and operation. It allows internal monitoring and data collection for analysis.
    22  - **Exposure Recommendation:** By default, this port should not be exposed to the public. It is intended for internal monitoring and analysis purposes.
    23  
    24  ## HTTP RPC Port
    25  
    26  - **Port:** 20012   
    27  - **Protocol:** TCP
    28  - **Purpose:** Port 8545 provides an HTTP-based Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface. It enables external applications to interact with the blockchain by sending requests over HTTP.
    29  - **Exposure Recommendation:** Similar to the metrics port, exposing this port to the public is not recommended by default due to security considerations.
    30  
    31  ## WS RPC Port
    32  
    33  - **Port:** 20013
    34  - **Protocol:** TCP
    35  - **Purpose:** Port 8546 offers a WebSocket-based Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface. It allows real-time communication between external applications and the blockchain.
    36  - **Exposure Recommendation:** As with the HTTP RPC port, the WS RPC port should not be exposed by default for security reasons.
