@ -30,6 +30,10 @@ In the case of a reorg, where 1 or more blocks are disconnected, nodes currently
# Upon receipt of a "sendheaders" message, the node will be permitted, but not required, to announce new blocks by sending the header of the new block (along with any other blocks that a node believes a peer might need in order for the block to connect).
# Feature discovery is enabled by checking protocol version >= 70012
==Additional constraints==
As support for sendheaders is optional, software that implements this may also optionally impose additional constraints, such as only honoring sendheaders messages shortly after a connection is established.
==Backward compatibility==
Older clients remain fully compatible and interoperable after this change.
