 === Counter-measures for peer fingerprinting ===
 
-Peers may have different prune depths (depending on the peers configuration, disk space, etc.) which can result in a fingerprinting weakness (finding the prune depth through getdata requests). NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED supporting peers <I>SHOULD</I> avoid leaking the prune depth and therefore not serve blocks deeper then the signaled <code>NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED_*</code> thresholds.

 === Risks ===
 
 Pruned peers following this BIP may consume more outbound bandwidth.
 
-Light clients (and such) who are not checking the <code>nServiceFlags</code> (service bits) from a relayed <code>addr</code>-message may unwillingly connect to a pruned peer and ask for (filtered) blocks at a depth below their pruned depth. Light clients should therefore check the service bits (and eventually connect to peers signaling <code>NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED_*</code> if they require [filtered] blocks around the tip). Light clients obtaining peer IPs though DNS seed should use the DNS filtering option.
