A full public node is the same as a full node, but with external/remote access enabled. This means that other light wallet users, outside your local network, can use the node as well. Requirements are the same but a busy public node might experience more heavy load due to the extra requests from all light wallet users connected.

  • Is it possible to mitigate heavy load with higher specs on the public nodes or is it network bound?

  • I imagine it depends which bottleneck it hits first, which is dependent on the relevant server and network.
