In this commit we add the ability to intercept forwarded htlc packets
straight from the RPC layer. The RPC layer handles a bidrectional stream
that comminucates to the client the intercepted packets and handles its
response by coordinating with the interceptable switch.
This is a preparation for enabling the REST interface on routerrpc.
It provides REST clients that don't support server-side streaming
via keep-alive connections to use the streaming endpoint in the
typical request/response pattern. The url just needs to contain
?no_inflight_updates=true and only the terminal response is sent
back before the connection is closed.
The message in the response stream changed. Rename the calls themselves,
to prevent older applications from getting decode errors. Especially
troublesome is the case where the request is executed (send payment),
but the application can't read the outcome (payment sent or not?)
This commit fixes the inconsistency between the payment state as
reported by routerrpc.SendPayment/routerrpc.TrackPayment and the main
rpc ListPayments call.
In addition to that, payment state changes are now sent out for every
state change. This opens the door to user interfaces giving more
feedback to the user about the payment process. This is especially
interesting for multi-part payments.
The default was increased for the main sendpayment RPC in commit
d3fa9767a9729756bab9b4a1121344b265410b1a. This commit sets the
same default for QueryRoutes, routerrpc.SendPayment and
router.EstimateRouteFee.
Update the type check used for checking local payment
failures to check on the ClearTextError interface rather
than on the ForwardingError type. This change prepares
for splitting payment errors up into Link and Forwarding
errors.
This commit adds a ClearTextError interface
which is implemented by non-opaque errors that
we know the underlying wire failure message for.
This interface is implemented by ForwardingErrors,
because we can fully decrypt the onion blob to
obtain the underlying failure reason. This interface
will also be implemented by errors which originate
at our node in following commits, because we know
the failure reason when we fail the htlc.
The lnwire interface is un-embedded in the
ForwardingError struct in favour of implementing
this interface. This change is made to protect
against accidental passing of a ForwardingError
to the wire, where the embedded FailureMessage
interface will present as wire failure but
will not serialize properly.
This commit modifies the FetchPayment method to return MPPayment structs
converted from the legacy on-disk format. This allows us to attach the
HTLCs to the events given to clients subscribing to the outcome of an
HTLC.
This commit also bubbles up to the routerrpc/router_server, by
populating HTLCAttempts in the response and extracting the legacy route
field from the HTLCAttempts.
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.
Probability estimates are amount dependent. Previously we assumed an
amount, but that starts to make less sense when we make probability more
dependent on amounts in the future.
With the introduction of the max CLTV limit parameter, nodes are able to
reject HTLCs that exceed it. This should also be applied to path
finding, otherwise HTLCs crafted by the same node that exceed it never
left the switch. This wasn't a big deal since the previous max CLTV
limit was ~5000 blocks. Once it was lowered to 1008, the issue became
more apparent. Therefore, all of our path finding attempts now have a
restriction of said limit in in order to properly carry out HTLCs to the
network.
Extends the invalid payment details failure with the new accept height
field. This allows sender to distinguish between a genuine invalid
details situation and a delay caused by intermediate nodes.
This commit modifies paymentLifecycle so that it not only feeds
failures into mission control, but successes as well.
This allows for more accurate probability estimates. Previously,
the success probability for a successful pair and a pair with
no history was equal. There was no force that pushed towards
previously successful routes.
In this commit, we add a new field to the Hop proto to allow callers to
be able to specify TLV records for the SendToRoute call, and also to be
able to display TLV records that were used during regular path finding.
We also update SendPayment to support dest TLV records.
Previously mission control tracked failures on a per node, per channel basis.
This commit changes this to tracking on the level of directed node pairs. The goal
of moving to this coarser-grained level is to reduce the number of required
payment attempts without compromising payment reliability.
Align naming better with the lightning spec. Not the full name of the
failure (FailIncorrectOrUnknownPaymentDetails) is used, because this
would cause too many long lines in the code.
