    10  The evidence reactor works similar to the mempool reactor. When evidence is observed, it is sent to all the peers in a repetitive manner. This ensures evidence is sent to as many people as possible to avoid sensoring. After evidence is received by peers and committed in a block it is pruned from the evidence module.

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