+- `SessionPoolSize` is the maximum number of concurrent iterator sessions. It is
+  set to `20` by default. If the subsequent session can't be added to the session
+  pool, then invocation result will contain corresponding error inside the

 - `StartWhenSynchronized` controls when RPC server will be started, by default
   (`false` setting) it's started immediately and RPC is availabe during node
   synchronization. Setting it to `true` will make the node start RPC service only
