==Abstract==
15+
16+
This BIP proposes a new Bitcoin transaction relay protocol by introducing new
17+
signaling support, which can be further used by nodes to negotiate new transaction
18+
relay mechanisms and policies.
19+
20+
==Motivation==
21+
22+
Historically, nodes have been exchanging transactions on the Bitcoin peer-to-peer
23+
network by sending an inv, and if the transaction has not been discovered and processed
24+
yet by the other peer, sending a dedicated tx message.
25+
26+
Sending an unnannounced tx message has always been considered in conformity with
27+
the protocol, however this behavior creates a denanonymization vector if leveraged
28+
by mass connectors.
29+
30+
We can eliminate this concern by using node service bits to signal support for
31+
a new v2 transaction relay protocol. Within this protocol, nodes can negotiate new
32+
transaction relay mechanisms and policies.
33+
34+
==Specification==
35+
36+
Peers supporting the v2 transaction relay protocol signal support by adverstising
37+
the 13th bit service flag in the addr p2p messages (`ADDR` and `ADDRV2`).
38+
39+
==Backward compatibility==
40+
41+
Older clients remain fully compatible and interoperable after this change.
42+
43+
==Implementation==
