This protocol assumes an underlying authenticated and ordered transport mechanism that takes care of framing individual messages.
[BOLT #8](08-transport.md) specifies the canonical transport layer used in Lightning, though it can be replaced by any transport that fulfills the above guarantees.
The default TCP port is 9735. This corresponds to hexadecimal `0x2607`: the Unicode code point for LIGHTNING.<sup>[1](#reference-1)</sup>
The default TCP port depends on the network used. The most common networks are:
- Bitcoin mainet with port number 9735 or the corresponding hexadecimal `0x2607`;
- Bitcoin testnet with port number 19735 (`0x4D17`);
- Bitcoin signet with port number 39735 (`0xF87`).
The Unicode code point for LIGHTNING <sup>[1](#reference-1)</sup>, and the port convention try to follow the Bitcoin Core convention.
All data fields are unsigned big-endian unless otherwise specified.
