There is lots of TCP/IP communication of a more-or-less continuous nature that happens between the various components of a stock Rivendell setup, particularly between the modules and the daemons. The specifics of how the system has been configured will determine how much (if any) of that is visible externally. If you're using a single stand-alone setup (with both MySQL and the audio store on the same machine), you should see little or none, as everything in that case defaults to the loopback address (127.0.0.1). Some of the common ports used by RD for interprocess communication: TCP/5005 caed TCP/5006 ripcd TCP/6006 rdcatchd UDP/5858 RML UDP/5859 RML UDP/5860 RML There are also the ports used for communication with MySQL and NFS, as well as those for various external devices (e.g. TCP/10212 for a Logitek Audio Engine), which I have left out of this general list due to their being highly dependent on the specific site configuration.
