To better distinguish payments from HTLCs, we rename the attempt info
struct to HTLCAttemptInfo. We also embed it into the HTLCAttempt struct,
to avoid having to duplicate this information.
The paymentID term is renamed to attemptID.
Adds an integrated routing test of probability extrapolation for untried
channels. The larger part of this commit is mock code to simulate the
Lightning Network.
The difference between this test and the existing pathfinding tests, is that
this test focuses on the feedback loop from result interpretation via
mission control updates and probability estimation back to pathfinding.
Improvements like probability extrapolation were previously only
validated by reasoning, while this setup makes it possible to assert the
improvement in a test and guard it for the future.
Previously we only penalized the outgoing connections of a failing node.
This turned out not to be sufficient, because the next route sometimes
went into the same failing node again to try a different outgoing
connection that wasn't yet known to mission control and therefore not
penalized before.
This shortcut does not work when the destination is a private node. We
also don't have this shortcut for regular payments. This commit
aligns the behavior between SendPayment and QueryRoutes.
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.
Add a constructor for the creation of forwarding errors.
A special constructor is added for the case where we have
an unknown wire failure, and must set a nil failure message.
Modifies TestMissingFeatureDep and TestDestPaymentAddr to use the test
ctx directly instead of generating a closure and using local state to
modify restrictions.
This commit brings us inline with recent modifications to the spec, that
say we shouldn't pay nodes whose feature vectors signal unknown required
features, and also that we shouldn't route through nodes signaling
unknown required features.
Currently we assert that invoices don't have such features during
decoding, but now that users can specify feature vectors via the rpc
interface, it makes sense to perform this check deeper in call stack.
This will also allow us to remove the check from decoding entirely,
making decodepayreq more useful for debugging.
In this commit, we update the routing package to use the new
`sphinx.NewOnionPacket` method. The new version of this method allows us
to specify _how_ the packet should be filled before it's used to create
a mix-header. This isn't a fundamental change (totally backwards
compatible), instead it plugs a privacy leak that may have revealed to
the destination how long the true route was.
This commit adds success mission control
results for all hops along the route in
a mpp timeout and takes no action for
the final hop along the route. This is a
temporary measure to prevent the default
logic from penalizing the final node while
we decide how to penalize mpp timeouts.
This commit adds a getResolutionFailure function
which returns an appropriate wire failure based
on the outcome of a htlc resolution. It also updates
the MissionControlStore test to ensure that lnd
can handle failures which occur due to mpp timeout.
Also the max hop count check can be removed, because the real bound is
the payload size. By moving the check inside the search loop, we now
also backtrack when we hit the limit.
This commit fixes a potential bug in our test harness, by ensuring that
the constructed node policies are configured _after_ sorting. Currently
the node pubkeys are sorted, but additional parameters (max htlc,
disabled, etc) are applied using the unsorted policies.
Most of the constructors used today use the symmetric channel
constructor, so this shouldn't cause an issue with the majority of our
tests. We recently introduced an asymmetric channel constructor for
which this could have been an issue, however, no known issues were
discovered.
Lastly, we remove the direction from the configuration altogether, and
derive it purely from the final sorting of the pubkeys.
We move up the check for TLV support, since we will later use it to
determine if we can use dependent features, e.g. TLV records and payment
addresses.
This commit creates a wrapper struct, grouping all parameters that
influence the final hop during route construction. This is a preliminary
step for passing in the receiver's invoice feature bits, which will be
used to select an appropriate payment or payload type.
In this commit, we overwrite the final hop's features with either the
destination features or those loaded from the graph fallback. This
ensures that the same features used in pathfinding will be provided to
route construction.
In an earlier commit, we validated the final hop's transitive feature
dependencies, so we also add validation to non-final nodes.
This commit adds an optional PaymentAddr field to the RestrictParams, so
that we can verify the final hop can support it before doing an
expensive round of pathfindig.
In this commit, we fix a bug that prevents us from sending custom
records to nodes that aren't in the graph. Previously we would simply
fail if we were unable to retrieve the node's features.
To remedy, we add the option of supplying the destination's feature bits
into path finding. If present, we will use them directly without
consulting the graph, resolving the original issue. Instead, we will
only consult the graph as a fallback, which will still fail if the node
doesn't exist since the TLV features won't be populated in the empty
feature vector.
Furthermore, this also permits us to provide "virtual features" into the
pathfinding logic, where we make assumptions about what the receiver
supports even if the feature vector isn't actually taken from an
invoice. This can useful in cases like keysend, where we don't have an
invoice, but we can still attempt the payment if we assume the receiver
supports TLV.
This commit allows custom node features to be populated in specific test
instances. For consistency, we auto-populate an empty feature vector for
nodes that have nil feature vectors before writing them to the database.
Previously if a payment was sent with custom records attached, path
finding wouldn't perform a check whether the final node was capable of
receiving custom records in a tlv payload.
This commit prepares for more manipulation of custom records. A list of
tlv.Record types is more difficult to use than the more basic
map[uint64][]byte.
Furthermore fields and variables are renamed to make them more
consistent.
A unified policy differs between local channels and other channels on
the network. There is more information available for local channels and
this is used in the unified policy.
Previously we used the pathfinding source pubkey to determine whether to
apply the local channel logic or not. If queryroutes is executed with a
source node that isn't the self node, this wouldn't work.
When the (virtual) payment attempt cost is set to zero, probabilities
are no longer a factor in determining the best route. In case of routes
with equal costs, we'd just go with the first one found. This commit
refines this behavior by picking the route with the highest probability.
So even though probability doesn't affect the route cost, it is still
used as a tie breaker.
This prepares for routing to self. When checking the condition at the
start, the loop would terminate immediately because the source is equal
to the target.
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.
Previously we used the a priori probability also for our own untried
channels. This led to local channels that had seen a success already
being prioritized over untried local channels. In some cases, depending
on the configured payment attempt cost, this could lead to the payment
taking a two hop route while a direct payment was also possible.
