These encoders can be composed to create composite types without
incurring additional allocations that would be required to pass the
truncated types through the generic interface.
In this commit, we create a new chainfee package, that houses all fee
related functionality used within the codebase. The creation of this new
package furthers our long-term goal of extracting functionality from the
bloated `lnwallet` package into new distinct packages. Additionally,
this new packages resolves a class of import cycle that could arise if a
new package that was imported by something in `lnwallet` wanted to use
the existing fee related functions in the prior `lnwallet` package.
In this commit, we convert the existing `channeldb.ChannelType` type
into a _bit field_. This doesn't require us to change the current
serialization or interpretation or the type as it is, since all the
current defined values us a distinct bit. This PR lays the ground work
for any future changes that may introduce new channel types (like anchor
outputs), and also any changes that may modify the existing invariants
around channels (if we're the initiator, we always have the funding
transaction).
This commit adds a new signal to the autopilot agent, meant to signal
when any of the available heuristics has gotten an update.
We currently use this to trigger a new channel opening after the
external scores have been updated.
When appending to a slice, there is no guarantee the slice won't be
modified. So instead of appending to the global slice
availableHeuristics, we create a temporary local one.
This commit modifies the NewPayloadFromReader to apply known
presence/omission contraints in the event that the tlv parser returns an
unknown required type failure.
Now that the parser has been modified to finished parsing the stream to
obtain a proper parsed type set, we can accurately apply these higher
level validation checks. This overrides required type failures, such
that they are only returned if the sender properly abided by the
constraints on fields for which we know.
The unit tests are updated to create otherwise valid payloads that then
return unknown required type failures. In one case, a test which
previously returned an unknown required type failure is made to return
an included failure for the sid, indicating the unknown required type 0
is being overruled.
An InvalidOnionPayload implies that the onion was successfully received
by the reporting node, but that they were unable to extract the
contents. Since we assume our own behavior is correct, this mostly
likely poins to an error in the reporter's implementation or that we
sent an unknown required type. Therefore we only penalize that single
hop, and consider the failure terminal if the receiver reported it.
This commit modifies the link return an InvalidOnionPayload failure when
it cannot parse a TLV payload. The offset is left at zero, since its
unclear how useful it will be in practice and would require some
significant reworkings of the abstractions in the tlv package.
TODO: add unit tests. currently none of the test unit infrastructure is
setup to handle TLV payloads, so this would require implementing a
separate mock iterator for TLV payloads that also supports injecting
invalid payloads. Deferring this non-trival effor till a later date
This commit adds a hop.PayloadViolation enum which encompasses the cases
where the sender omits, includes, or requires a type that causes an
ErrInvalidPayload faiulre.
The existing Omitted bool is converted to this PayloadViolation, and
NewPayloadFromReader is updated to return such a failure with a
RequiredViolation when an unknown required type is detected.
The unit tests are updated to cover the three possible cases of
RequiredViolations, as well as included valid intermediate and final hop
tests.
Probabilities are no longer returned for querymc calls. To still provide
some insight into the mission control internals, this commit adds a new
rpc that calculates a success probability estimate for a specific node
pair and amount.
With a separate proto message, it becomes possible to also return the
pair data for a single pair. This prepares for the new mc probability
querying rpc.
This prepares for decoupling the result interpretation of a single
payment attempt from the information stored in mission control memory
on the history of a node pair. A planned follow-up where we store both
the last success and last failure requires this decoupling.
This commit adds the total observed lifetime of a channel and the
totaluptime of its remote peer to the lnrpc channel struct. These
fields are marked as experimential because they are subject to
change.
In this commit we change path finding to no longer consider all channels
between a pair of nodes individually. We assume that nodes forward
non-strict and when we attempt a connection between two nodes, we don't
want to try multiple channels because their policies may not be identical.
Having distinct policies for channel to the same peer is against the
recommendation in the spec, but it happens in the wild. Especially since
we recently changed the default cltv delta value.
What this commit introduces is a unified policy. This can be looked upon
as the greatest common denominator of all policies and should maximize
the probability of getting the payment forwarded.
This commit adds a channel event store to the channel fitness
package which is used to manage tracking of a node's channels.
It adds tracking for channel open/closed and peer online/offline
events for all channels that a node has open.
Events are consumed from channelNotifier and peerNotifier event
subscriptions. If either of these subscriptions is cancelled,
channel scoring stops, because both subscriptions are expected
to run until node shutdown.
Two functions are exposed to allow external callers to get uptime
information about a channel. GetLifespan returns the period over
which the channel has been monitored. GetUptime returns the channel's
uptime over a specified period. Callers can use these functions to
get the channel's remote peer uptime over its entire lifetime, or
a subset of that period.
This commit adds a chanfitness package which will be used to track
channel health and performance metrics. It adds a channel event
structure which will be used to track channel opens/closes and peer
uptime.
The eventLog implements an uptime function which calcualtes uptime
over a given period and a lifespan function which returns the time
when the log began monitoring the channel and, if the channel is
closed, the time when it stopped moitoring it.
