Structuring RPC requests in this manner allows multiple calls and responses to be multiplexed over the same stream without switching. 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`.

4. `40`: Server error. 6. `30`: Method not found.
7. `40`: Server error.
Very large responses MAY be delivered in chunks. This MUST be indicated by sending multiple response messages using the same `id` and the `response_code` value `Response Chunk`. The last chunk MUST be indicated with a `response_code` value `No error`.
