I build a python script to talk to bitcoin test nodes. When I'm sending mempool messages, my connection is getting is reset. Also sometimes when connecting to Jimmy Song's testnet node (testnet.programmingbitcoin.com) I get and an inv message back, other times my connection is cut after sending a mempool message.

What's going on here? Is mempool mostly unsupported on testnet nodes?

    It’s just not supported on modern nodes, it serves little to no purpose for anything other than abuse.
