==Abstract==

This BIP proposes a new Bitcoin transaction relay protocol by introducing new
signaling support, which can be further used by nodes to negotiate new transaction
relay mechanisms and policies.

==Motivation==

Historically, nodes have been exchanging transactions on the Bitcoin peer-to-peer
network by sending an inv, and if the transaction has not been discovered and processed
yet by the other peer, sending a dedicated tx message.

Sending an unnannounced tx message has always been considered in conformity with
the protocol, however this behavior creates a denanonymization vector if leveraged
by mass connectors.

We can eliminate this concern by using node service bits to signal support for
a new v2 transaction relay protocol. Within this protocol, nodes can negotiate new
transaction relay mechanisms and policies.

==Specification==

Peers supporting the v2 transaction relay protocol signal support by adverstising
the 13th bit service flag in the addr p2p messages (`ADDR` and `ADDRV2`).

==Backward compatibility==

Older clients remain fully compatible and interoperable after this change.

==Implementation==
