This commit makes the routing cache invalidation a bit more aggressive.
We now invalidate the cache on each new block as the routes in the
cache are based on the current block height. Using the cached items may
cause our routes to fail due to them having time locks which have
already expired.
This commit introduces the requirement specified in BOLT#7,
where we ignore any node announcements for a specific node
if we yet haven't seen any channel announcements where this
node takes part. This is to prevent someone DoS-ing the
network with cheap node announcements. In the router this
is enforced by requiring a call to AddNode(node_id) to
be preceded by an AddEdge(edge_id) call, where node_id is
one of the nodes in edge_id.
Within the network, it's important that when an HTLC forwarding failure
occurs, the recipient is notified in a timely manner in order to ensure
that errors are graceful and not unknown. For that reason with
accordance to BOLT №4 onion failure obfuscation have been added.
This commit fixes a send on closed channel panic by adding additional
synchronization when cancelling the notifications for a particular
topology client. We now ensure that all goroutines belonging to a
particular topology client exit fully before we close the notification
channel in order to avoid a panic.
This commit replaces the hard-coded 5000 satoshi fees with calls to the
FeeEstimator interface. This should provide a way to cleanly plug in
additional fee calculation algorithms in the future. This change
affected quite a few tests. When possible, the tests were changed to
assert amounts sent rather than balances so that fees wouldn't need to
be taken into account. There were several tests for which this wasn't
possible, so calls to the static fee calculator were made.
This commit fixes a panic due to a send on a closed channel that could
possibly occur depending on the order of channel closes when a client
goes to cancel a topology notification client.
Previously we closed the ntfnChan first, this would possible result in
a panic as the goroutine may have succeeded on a send at the same time
the channel was closed. Instead, we now close the `exit` channel first
which is meant to be a signal to the goroutine that the client has been
canceled.
This commit modifies the processing in the routing package eo new
announcements. Previously, if we cgot a cnew channel announcement but
didn’t yet know of the verses that the chanell connected, the
cnnounacment would be accepted. This behavior was eronoues as if the
channel were to be queried for, the DB query would fail as we would be
unable to retrieve the two nodes involved int he channel.
To avoid such an error case, we will now _reject_ any channel
announcements in which we don’t yet have a valid node announcement for
the connected nodes. This case has been inserted into the handling of
channel announcement, a new test has been added, and finally older
tests have also been updated to ensure that nodes are added to the
database _before_ the edge is.
This commit modifies the routing package to no longer use the
ChainNotifier for pruning the channel graph. Instead, we now use the
FilteredChainView interface to more (from the ChannelRouter’s PoV)
efficiently maintain the channel graph.
Rather than scanning the _entire_ block manually, we now rely on the
FilteredChainView to provide us with FilteredBlocks which include
_only_ the relevant transactions that we care about.
This commit implements some minor coding style, commenting and naming
clean up after the recent major discovery service was merged into the
codebase.
Highlights of the naming changes:
* fundingManager.SendToDiscovery -> SendAnnouncement
* discovery.Discovery -> discovery.AuthenticatedGossiper
The rest of the changes consist primary of grammar fixes and proper
column wrapping.
Originally we adding the edge without proof in order to able to use it
for payments path constrcution. This method will allow us to populate
the announcement proof after the exchange of the half proofs and
constrcutrion of full proof finished.
Change the name of fields of messages which are belong to the discovery
subsystem in a such way so they were the same with the names that are
defined in the specification.
In this commit the routing package was divided on two separete one,
this was done because 'routing' package start take too much responsibily
on themself, so with following commit:
Routing pacakge:
Enitites:
* channeldb.ChannelEdge
* channeldb.ChannelPolicy
* channeldb.NodeLightning
Responsibilities:
* send topology notification
* find payment paths
* send payment
* apply topology changes to the graph
* prune graph
* validate that funding point exist and corresponds to given one
* to be the source of topology data
Discovery package:
Entities:
* lnwire.AnnounceSignature
* lnwire.ChannelAnnouncement
* lnwire.NodeAnnouncement
* lnwire.ChannelUpdateAnnouncement
Responsibilities:
* validate announcement signatures
* sync topology with newly connected peers
* handle the premature annoucement
* redirect topology changes to the router susbsystem
* broadcast announcement to the rest of the network
* exchange channel announcement proofs
Before that moment all that was in the 'routing' which is quite big for
one subsystem.

This commit modifies address handling in the NodeAnnouncement struct,
switching from net.TCPAddr to []net.Addr. This enables more flexible
address handling with multiple types and multiple addresses for each
node. This commit addresses the first part of issue #131 .
This commit fixes the issue of broken builds in versions other than go
1.7.5 by sorting according to the sort.Interface interface rather than
the newly available sort.Slice function.
This commit adds caching to our route finding. Caching is done on a
tuple-basis mapping a (dest, amt) pair to a previously calculated set
of shortest paths. The cache invalidated on two occasions: when a block
closes a set of transactions, or we received a new channel update or
channel announcement message.
With this change, payments are now snappier from the PoV of an
application developer as we no longer need to do a series of disk-seeks
before we dispatch each payment.
This commit adds payment route failure fallback to SendPayment. By
this, we mean that we now take all the possible routes found during
path finding and try them in series. Either a route fails and we move
onto the next one, or the route is successful and we terminate early.
With this commit, sending payments using lnd is now much more robust as
if there exists an eligible route with sufficient capacity, it will be
utilized.
This commit modifies the existing FindRoute method on the ChannelRouter
to now use the KSP implementation added in a prior commit.
This new method FindRoutes, is able to find all the possible paths
between a source and destination. The method takes all paths reported
by findPaths, and attempt to turn each of them into a route. A route
differs from a path in that is has complete time-lock and fee
information. Some paths may not be able to be turned into routes as
once fees are accounted for the have an insufficient flow. We then take
the routes, sort them by total fee (with time-lock being a
time-breaker), then return them in sorted order.
This commit modifies the findRoute function to decouple the
validation+creation of a route, from the path finding algorithm itself.
When we say “route”, we mean the full payment route complete with
time-lock and fee information. When we say “path” we simple mean an
ordered set of channel edges from one node to another target node.
With this commit we can now perform path finding independent of route
creation which will be needed in the up coming refactor to implement a
new modified k-shortest paths algorithm.
This commit slightly modified findRoute to accept the node which should
be used as the starting point in our path finding algorithm. With this
change, as we move to a k-shortest paths algorithm this modification
will be needed as all of our path finding attempts won’t always
originate from a the same starting point.
This commit adds some new functionality to the channel router: the
ability to dispatch notification to registered clients upon either a
channel being closed, a new node appearing, or an exiting client being
updated or opened for the first time.
With this change, the integration tests will now be able to eliminate
most of the sleep as we gain a new syntonization point into the
propagation of information within the test network. Additionally, this
also paves the way for client side software to dynamically visualize
the channel graph in real-time as nodes+channels are updated.
This commit fixes bug that could result in the panicking or crashing of
nodes in the case of an at-funding-time reorganization within the
network. In order to avoid such a case, we now ensure that the
advertised transaction index is within the bounds of the block before
attempting to access it.
Note that this is a temporary patch commit until full advertisement
validation which is implemented in the discovery PR lands in master.
Additionally, better reorg handling during the funding process is being
specified within the spec and will properly be implemented within lnd
at a later date.
This commit fixes a prior block propagation race-condition by detecting
and properly processing “premature” announcements. A premature
announcement is one that’s received with an anchored block height which
is beyond our chain tip. Once received, we now store these
announcements in a special map that’s caches them in memory. Once a new
block arrives, we check the map for the existence of any entries,
processing them as normal if so.
This commit moves much of the logic for querying for a potential route,
constructing the HTLC including the Sphinx packet, and sending the
ultimate payment from the rpcServer to the ChannelRouter.
This movement paves the way for muilt-path path finding as well as
adding automatic retry logic to the ChannelRouter. Additionally, by
having the ChannelRouter construct the Sphinx packet, we’ll be able to
also include the proper time-lock and general per-hop-payload
information properly in the future.
This commit adds new behavior to the ChannelRouter struct: we know
rebroadcast our outgoing channels every 30 minutes. This new behavior
should ensure that both directions of an advertised channel edge are
always propagated though the network, fixing the issue of “ghost” edges
which exist but aren’t advertised.
This commit fixes a slight bug in the storage of the capacity of a
channel. Previously, we were subtracting a the hard coded fee amount
without first casting the integer to a btcutil.Amount which results in
a display/rounding error when the amount is converted to BTC.
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 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.
