Bold node names have "named" flag set, look here [1].

Different OR ports are a decision of each Tor node operator. If an
operator can offer port 443 (which is normally for HTTPS/SSL), it helps
a special group of users, who only are able to access port 80/443,
because of firewall/proxy limitations...

[tor-talk] Two questions about tor status

2011-02-20 Thread Matthew

 I have two questions relating to the Tor status for example at blutmagie.

Why are some node names in bold?  Sometimes the number of days up is in 
bold too, sometimes just the node name.


Why are the OR ports different?  They include 80, 443, 9001, 9002, 9091, 
etc.  Does the difference mean anything?
