What is the purpose of the supernode 7654 tcp port? #868

Supernode use 7654 tcp and udp port as default. Or use -p to changge it.

The udp port is work-port as we know, but what is the tcp port used for?

Logan007 commented 3 years ago

Apart from the UDP port, the supernode also allows the edges to connect through TCP. This is useful in case of network components such as firewalls blocking UDP.

An edge can connect through TCP by providing the -S2 command line switch, see edge --help. Note, that this disables p2p – supernode forwarding only – and that it is not working at Windows edges yet.
