Note that this implies that responses MAY arrive in a different order than requests. +A single LibP2P stream provides duplex mode communication for the connected peers. Requests and responses MAY be sent in arbitrary order by both parties. Requests and responses are discriminated through the value of their `id` member. Each request MUST use an even number as `id`, while the correponding response MUST use the value `id + 1`. The "method ID" fields in the below messages refer to the `method` field in the request structure above. The first 1,000 values in `response_code` are reserved for system use.
