Many thanks for you explanation.

Checking the documentation I can read that reactor.listenTCP returns
an IListeningPort [1]
Checking IListeningPort I can read that it has no stopReading() ,
startReading() methods [2]

Can you please advise how and when to use startReading vs startListening ?

Many thanks!
