Note: the receiving peer itself may respond with an `“inv” message <../reference/p2p_networking.html#inv>`__ containing header hashes of stale blocks. It is up to the requesting peer to poll all of its peers to find the best block chain.

If the receiving peer does not find a common header hash within the list, it will assume the last common block was the genesis block (block zero), so it will reply with in `“inv” message <../reference/p2p_networking.html#inv>`__ containing header hashes starting with block one (the first block after the genesis block).
