Great Thanks!

Yes, peer_cnt should be 0x02 if the whitelist contains 2 peers.

Oh alright I see it. So just to absolutely clear, in the example that I have described, peer_cnt should be 0x02?

Hello Rakesh,

peer_cnt is the total number of peers.

Notice how examples using whitelist will get the stored list of peers first and then set the whitelist.
