When running p2pool at the same time as Bitcoin and Litecoin, I experienced that one port clashed between each other.

However this was a very easy fix.

P2Pool for Bitcoin: run_p2pool.py username password --p2pool-port 9335
P2Pool for Litecoin: run_p2pool.py --net litecoin username password

For litecoin, you need to go into %AppData%/Litecoin and create litecoin.conf with:

rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
server=1

and you're ready to go !

Yes, just reed p2pool documentation. Its the same for bitcoin as it is for litecoin, you just need to run p2pool with different command line arguments.

You then connect locally to your node and mine. Your node will also provide http accessible statistics.

p2pool is immune to DDoS attacks.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.

So, from what I understand about P2Pool is that if I create a pool, it will act as a node and consequently work with the other nodes when mining, correct? As such, I'd like to set up an LTC P2Pool. From what I have found, this seems appropriate, but for Bitcoins:

Now, could I simply follow those directions but use the Litecoin client? Or would I have to follow this instruction set:

The latter is obviously much longer but seems like it would work. Thanks in advance!
