I liked the first one. I found it easy to see the subports and also to
read the list of ports as compared to second one.

Although I felt the spacing between rows were a bit further apart (in
first one), and in second one there were back to back.
Maybe spacing can be modified in somewhere between these two ? Not too
far but not also back to back. I am not expert of pixel values but
something like 2px might look better ?

Also the first column is too wide, maybe a small dropdown arrow kind
of symbol would
be sufficient.
