Since we will use peer flap rate to determine how we rate limit, we
store this value on disk per peer per channel. This allows us to
restart with memory of our peers past behaviour, so we don't give badly
behaving peers have a fresh start on restart. Last flap timestamp is
stored with our flap count so that we can degrade this all time flap
count over time for peers that have not recently flapped.
The current implementation of subscribe is difficult to mock because
the queue that we send updates on in unexported, so you cannot create
a subscribe.Client object and then add your own updates. While it is
possible to run a subscribe server in tests, subscribe servers will
shutdown before dispatching their udpates to all clients, which can be
flakey (and is difficult to workaround). In this commit, we add a
subscription interface so that these testing struggles can be addressed
with a mock.
Add a new health check package which will periodically poll health
check functions and shutdown if we do not succeed after our set number
of attempts. The first check that we add is one for our chain backend,
to ensure that we are connected to a bitcoin node.
In this commit, we fix a mistake in the split for the new `peer`
package/struct when instantiating the config needed. The existing code
had the DB's swapped. In this commit, we fix this to pass the remote DB
for generic channeldb access, and the local DB for channel graph access.
This commit removes the activeNetParams global in chainparams.go. This
is necessary to isolate code from the lnd package so we can import it
for use in tests, other projects, etc.
In this commit, we split the database storage into two classes: remote
and local data. If etcd isn't active, then everything is actually just
local though we use two pointers everywhere. If etcd is active, then
everything but the graph goes into the remote database.
This commit extends invoice garbage collection to also remove invoices
which are canceled when LND is already up and running. When the option
GcCanceledInvoicesOnTheFly is false (default) then invoices are kept and
the behavior is unchanged.
Follow up labelling of external transactions with labels for the
transaction types we create within lnd. Since these labels will live
a life of string matching, a version number and rigid format is added
so that string matching is less painful. We start out with channel ID,
where available, and a transaction "type". External labels, added in a
previous PR, are not updated to this new versioned label because they
are not lnd-initiated transactions. Label matching can check this case,
then check for a version number.
In this commit, we add a new sub-system, then `HostAnnouncer` which
allows a users without a static IP address to ensure that lnd always
announces the most up to date address based on a domain name. A new
command line flag `--external-hosts` has been added which allows a user
to specify one or most hosts that should be periodically resolved to
update any advertised IPs the node has.
Fixes#1624.
Adds a new configuration flag to lnd that will keep keysend payments in
the accepted state. An application can then inspect the payment
parameters and decide whether to settle or cancel.
The on-the-fly inserted keysend invoices get a configurable expiry time.
This is a safeguard in case the application that should decide on the
keysend payments isn't active.
In this commit we implement a wrapper arround the switch, called
InterceptableSwitch. This kind of wrapper behaves like a proxy which
intercepts forwarded packets and allows an external interceptor to
signal if it is interested to hold this forward and resolve it
manually later or let the switch execute its default behavior.
This infrastructure allows the RPC layer to expose interceptor
registration API to the user and by that enable the implementation
of custom routing behavior.
A peer's remote address isn't known to us if we accepted the connection
over Tor, instead we know the address the onion service used to dial to
lnd. If said peer also doesn't have any advertised addresses, then we
don't have enough information to attempt a reconnect, so we avoid doing
so. Allowing the reconnection to happen isn't necessarily an issue, but
not allowing it prevents the configured SOCKS proxy from dialing to
private addresses.
