Tips for faster syncing

Optimize for Low Latency

Use a machine with low-latency storage (focused on latency, not throughput) and ample RAM to speed up the initial sync process.

Memory Optimized Nodes

Consider using memory-optimized nodes for faster sync, such as AWS EC2 r5 or r6 series instances, for faster syncing.

Additional Recommendations

• Only expose ports that are necessary for specific use cases (e.g., JSON-RPC or WebSocket).
• Regularly review and audit your firewall rules to ensure they align with your infrastructure needs.
• Utilize monitoring tools like Prometheus or Grafana to track P2P communication metrics.

This minimal configuration ensures proper P2P functionality for both the Execution and Consensus layers, without exposing unnecessary services.
