title: Cassandra port usage - how are the ports used?
body: <p>When experimenting with Cassandra I've observed that Cassandra listens to the following ports:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>TCP *:8080</li>
  <li>TCP *:8888</li>
  <li>TCP *:57311</li>
  <li>TCP *:57312</li>
  <li>TCP 127.0.0.1:7000</li>
  <li>TCP 127.0.0.1:9160</li>
  <li>UDP 127.0.0.1:700</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>How does Cassandra use each of the ports listed?</p>
