+Pruned/limited peers MUST NOT set a service bit that signals serving the complete block chain (e.g., NODE_NETWORK
). Rationale: nodes that signal serving the complete block chain may also signal NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED
.

A safety buffer of 144 blocks to handle chain reorganizations SHOULD be taken into account when connecting to a peer signaling the NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED
service bit.
