# ADMIN methods

* `version` - P2P protocol version.
* `name` - Client name.
* `caps` - List of Ethereum sub-protocol capabilities.
* `network` - Local and remote addresses established at time of bonding with the peer. The remote address might not match the hex value for `port`. The remote address depends on which node initiated the connection.
* `port` - Port on the remote node on which P2P discovery is listening.
* `id` - Node public key. Excluding the `0x` prefix, the node public key is the ID in the enode URL `enode://<id ex 0x>@<host>:<port>`.
* `protocols` - Current state of peer including `difficulty` and `head`. `head` is the hash of the highest known block for the peer.
