## P2P Overlay
Status clients run on the public Ethereum network, as specified by the devP2P
network protocols. devP2P provides a protocol for node discovery which is in
draft mode
(here)[https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/discv5/discv5.md]. See
more on node discovery and management in the next section.
To communicate between Ethereum nodes, the (RLPx Transport
Protocol, v5)[https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/rlpx.md] is used, which
allows for TCP-based communication between nodes.
