-REDUCE TRAFFIC
+Reduce Traffic
 ==============
 
-Some node operators need to deal with bandwith cap given by their ISPs.

 The default settings can result in relatively significant traffic consumption.

 Ways to reduce traffic:
 
-1. Use `-maxuploadtarget=<MiB per day>`
+## 1. Use `-maxuploadtarget=<MiB per day>`
 
-A major part of the traffic is caused by serving historic blocks to other nodes
-in initial blocks download state (syncing up a new node).

 This option can be specified in MiB per day and is turned off by default.
-This is *not* a hard limit but a threshold to minimize the outbound

 Keep in mind that new nodes require other nodes that are willing to serve
 historic blocks. **The recommended minimum is 144 blocks per day (max. 144MB
 per day)**
 
-2. Disable "listening" (`-listen=0`)

-Disable listening will result in fewer nodes connected (remind the max of 8
