This commit is similar to the prior commit to channeldb: we no longer
assume that _both_ edges of a channel will always be advertised. Such
an assumption resulted in the inability for a node to sync graph state
since we were previously returning an error when _both_ edges weren’t
found within the graph database.
To remedy this bug, we now carefully ensure that if one edge doesn’t
exist, then we still sync the other.
This commit fixes a bug in the test data that was uncovered due to the
recent bug fix within the AddChannelEdge method within the ChannelGraph
struct of channeldb.
The storage and assertion of unique channel ID’s wasn’t correct due to
bug in the channeldb which caused the defect in the test data to go
unnoticed.
This commit seems to fix a sporadic error within the integration tests
which would at times cause a panic when a payment as initiated.
This issue was with the way were deleting from the middle of the slice
of unvisited nodes within the graph. Assigning the last element to the
middle would at times cause a panic the last element may be nil. To fix
this, we now manually copy every item over by one, preserving the order
of the slice, and possibly fixing the panic once and for all.
This commit makes a large number of minor changes concerning API usage
within the deamon to match the latest version on the upstream btcsuite
libraries.
The major changes are the switch from wire.ShaHash to chainhash.Hash,
and that wire.NewMsgTx() now takes a paramter indicating the version of
the transaction to be created.
This commit slightly refactors the logic for the new outgoing payment
related RPC’s to more closely match the style of the rest of the
codebase. Additionally the tests have been updated to reflect the
changes to the protos of the new RPC’s.
This commit overhauls the routing package significantly to simplify the
code, conform to the rest of the coding style within the package, and
observe the new authenticated gossiping scheme outlined in BOLT07.
As a major step towards a more realistic path finding algorithm, fees
are properly calculated and observed during path finding. If a path has
sufficient capacity _before_ fees are applied, but afterwards the
finalized route would exceed the capacity of a single link, the route
is marked as invalid.
Currently a naive weighting algorithm is used which only factors in the
time-lock delta at each hop, thereby optimizing for the lowest time
lock. Fee calculation also isn’t finalized since we aren’t yet using
milli-satoshi throughout the daemon. The final TODO item within the PR
is to properly perform a multi-path search and rank the results based
on a summation heuristic rather than just return the first (out of
many) route found.
On the server side, once nodes are initially connected to the daemon,
our routing table will be synced with the peer’s using a naive “just
send everything scheme” to hold us over until I spec out some a
efficient graph reconciliation protocol. Additionally, the routing
table is now pruned by the channel router itself once new blocks arrive
rather than depending on peers to tell us when a channel flaps or is
closed.
Finally, the validation of peer announcements aren’t yet fully
implemented as they’ll be implemented within the pending discovery
package that was blocking on the completion of this package. Most off
the routing message processing will be moved out of this package and
into the discovery package where full validation will be carried out.
