+## Ports in I2P and Bitcoin Core
+
+Bitcoin Core uses the [SAM v3.1](https://geti2p.net/en/docs/api/samv3)
+protocol. One particularity of SAM v3.1 is that it does not support ports,
+unlike newer versions of SAM (v3.2 and up) that do support them and default the
+port numbers to 0. From the point of view of peers that use newer versions of
+SAM or other protocols that support ports, a SAM v3.1 peer is connecting to them
+on port 0, from source port 0.
+
+To allow future upgrades to newer versions of SAM, Bitcoin Core sets its
+listening port to 0 when listening for incoming I2P connections and advertises
+its own I2P address with port 0. Furthermore, it will not attempt to connect to
+I2P addresses with a non-zero port number because with SAM v3.1 the destination
+port (`TO_PORT`) is always set to 0 and is not in the control of Bitcoin Core.
