After restarting a node, are missed transactions recovered in mempool? (v0.14.1) As of v0.14.0 the mempool is now saved when shutting down a node and reloaded after starting up. If a node has been down for &lt;20 mins lets say, does the bitcoin node attempt to recover the transactions it has missed or does it wait until it sees it in a block before requesting missed transactions from a peer?

Thank you!
Bitcoin Core (v0.14+) does not actively try to learn about transactions it missed.

Historically, this was not done because it would unnecessarily and unintentionally extend the lifetime of transactions in the mempool. This is no longer an issue because the mempool is limited, and deals correct with expiration and eviction.

However, no efficient protocol exists to accomplish mempool syncing. We could ask for all txids from all peers, but this would amount to several hundred MB of data, most of which is redundant (as it'd be identical across peers). Some research has been done on set reconciliation protocols, which efficiently find differences between the mempools and just transfer the differences. None of that is close to deployment, however.
