# Mempool Reactor

## Channels

See [this issue](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/1503)

Mempool maintains a cache of the last 10000 transactions to prevent
replaying old transactions (plus transactions coming from other
validators, who are continually exchanging transactions). Read [Replay
Protection](../../../../app-development.md#replay-protection)
for details.

Sending incorrectly encoded data or data exceeding `maxMsgSize` will result
in stopping the peer.
