New docs: p2p-discovery-port and p2p-discovery-port-ipv6 #2105

Description

@alexandratran

What docs should be added?

Document p2p-discovery-port and p2p-discovery-port-ipv6 config options. Update related ipv6/dual-stack docs.

What changed: Adds --p2p-discovery-port and --p2p-discovery-port-ipv6 flags to bind the UDP discovery socket independently from the TCP RLPx port. Both default to the corresponding TCP port when unset (backward compatible). Useful for Kubernetes deployments. Enode URLs now include a ?discport= query param when the ports differ.

Why docs need updating: configure-ports.md currently states the P2P UDP port is configured via --p2p-port/--p2p-port-ipv6 only; options.md has no entry for the new flags.

Suggested changes:

  • Add --p2p-discovery-port and --p2p-discovery-port-ipv6 entries to options.md.
  • Update the "P2P networking" section of configure-ports.md to describe splitting TCP/UDP ports, with a Kubernetes example.
