=== Abstract ===
: //Make a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:n:netnode|network node's]] transaction memory pool accessible via a new "mempool" message. Extend the existing "getdata" message behavior to permit accessing the transaction memory pool.//
=== Motivation ===
: //Several use cases make it desirable to expose a network node's transaction memory pool://
: //1. [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:spv]] clients, wishing to obtain zero-[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:confirmation|confirmation]] transactions sent or received.//
: //2. Miners, to avoid missing lucrative fees, downloading existing network transactions after a restart.//
: //3. Remote network diagnostics.//
