I read that 8333 is the peer-to-peer port for the Bitcoin network, while 8332 is the JSON/RPC port
Also found the following definition: RPC needs a network transfer protocol (like TCP/IP) to do its job, but RPC is a higher-level protocol and fulfills a different purpose than merely sending unstructured data from one computer to another.
Topic: What's the difference between 8332 and 8333 ports on bitcoind? (Read 198 times)

According to docs:
-rpcport= Listen for JSON-RPC connections on (default: 8332 or testnet: 18332)
-port= Listen for connections on (default: 8333 or testnet: 18333)
So what's the difference ?
-rpcport=
-port=
So what's the difference ?
