2 bitcoinqt - getrawmempool returns different results I have 2 servers with running the same Bitcoin Core v0.9.3.0-g40d2041-beta (64-bit).
I use getrawmempool to get all new transactions in the same time but I have different result. One server always have more transactions. Difference quite big - about 10%.

Why?

I am trying monitor all new transactions for some reasons and this difference means for me that getrawmempool not is not good way for this.
Why do you expect them to be identical?

There are no guarantees about synchronization between mempool contents. In fact, if there was, we wouldn't need a blockchain at all. We'd just use "time of entering mempool" to order transactions.

Transactions are relayed across the network, but under various conditions, and usually the mempool contents reflects what a node decided to relay.

Reasons for variations between nodes:


Only the first of two double spends will typically enter the mempool (but some nodes use different policies, such a replace by fee).
There are various versions of nodes out there, with different relay fee requirements.
In some cases, relay is subjected to rate limiting, which means arbitrary dropping of transactions.
Standardness rules have changed over time, changing which types of transactions are accepted into the mempool.
