This commit adds the ignore-historical-filters CLI option, initially
defaulting to false. Users may use this option to prevent lnd from doing
historical gossip dumps to peers that set their `gossip_timestamp_range`
in the past. Enabling this option will result in lower bandwidth and
memory consumption. Down the road the plan is to make this default to
true.
With the introduction of the WatchtowerClient RPC subserver, the lnd
configuration flag to specify private watchtowers for the client is no
longer needed and can lead to confusion upon users. Therefore, we remove
the flag completely, and only rely on the watchtower client being active
through a new --wtclient.active flag.
This commit makes the outgoing link pipeline the settle to the
switch as soon as it receives it. Previously, it would wait for a
revocation before sending it, which caused increased latency on
payments as well as possibly never settling on the incoming link.
A duplicate settle is still sent to the switch, but it is handled
gracefully. A new AckEventTicker was added to the switch which
acknowledges any pending settle / fail entries in an outgoing
link's fwd pkgs in batch. This was needed in order to reduce the
number of db txn's which would have been incurred by acking whenever
we receive a duplicate settle without batching.
This commit makes the funding manager access the MaxPendingChannels and
RejectPush values from the fundingConfig instead of the global config
struct.
Done to avoid sharing state between tests.
In this commit we add exponential back off to the `initialPeerBootstrap`
method. Before this change, if the DNS seed was down, we would hammer it
in an attempt to get our initial set of peers. This makes this section a
bit less aggressive, but saves log spam and also will hit the DNS
servers less frequently.
This commit moves the newSweepPkScript function
previously in the nursery to be a helper function
within the server. Additionally, the function now
returns a closure that satisfies the configuration
interfaces of several other subsystems.
As a result, the configuration sites contain much
less boilerplate, as it's now encapsulated in
the newSweepPkScriptGen helper.
This commit exposes the three main parameters that influence mission
control and path finding to the user as command line or config file
flags. It allows for fine-tuning for optimal results.
This commit makes the router use the ControlTower to drive the payment
life cycle state machine, to keep track of active payments across
restarts. This lets the router resume payments on startup, such that
their final results can be handled and stored when ready.
In this commit, we introduce support for arbitrary client fee
preferences when accepting input sweep requests. This is possible with
the addition of fee rate buckets. Fee rate buckets are buckets that
contain inputs with similar fee rates within a specific range, e.g.,
1-10 sat/vbyte, 11-20 sat/vbyte, etc. Having these buckets allows us to
batch and sweep inputs from different clients with similar fee rates
within a single transaction, allowing us to save on chain fees.
With this addition, we can now get rid of the UtxoSweeper's default fee
preference. As of this commit, any clients using the it to sweep inputs
specify the same fee preference to not change their behavior. Each of
these can be fine-tuned later on given their use cases.
This commit moves the responsibility of generating a unique payment ID
from the switch to the router. This will make it easier for the router
to keep track of which HTLCs were successfully forwarded onto the
network, as it can query the switch for existing HTLCs as long as the
paymentIDs are kept.
The router is expected to maintain a map from paymentHash->paymentID,
such that they can be replayed on restart. This also lets the router
check the status of a sent payment after a restart, by querying the
switch for the paymentID in question.
This commit is the final step in making the link unaware of invoices. It
now purely offers the htlc to the invoice registry and follows
instructions from the invoice registry about how and when to respond to
the htlc.
The change also fixes a bug where upon restart, hodl htlcs were
subjected to the invoice minimum cltv delta requirement again. If the
block height has increased in the mean while, the htlc would be canceled
back.
Furthermore the invoice registry interaction is aligned between link and
contract resolvers.
This commit isolates preimages of forwarded htlcs from invoice
preimages. The reason to do this is to prevent the incoming contest
resolver from settling exit hop htlcs for which the invoice isn't marked
as settled.
Since ActiveSync GossipSyncers no longer synchronize our state with the
remote peers, none of the logic surrounding the round-robin is required
within the SyncManager.
This commit serves as another stop-gap for light clients since they are
unable to obtain the capacity and channel point of graph edges. Since
they're aware of these things for their own channels, they can populate
the information within the graph themselves once each channel has been
successfully added to the graph.
