Prior to this change, the numQueryResponses that we calculated would be
one more than what we actually wanted since it didn't account for the
initial QueryChannelRange msg. This resulted in the test sending one
extra delayed query than was configured. This doesn't fundamentally
impact the test, but does make what happens in the test more reflective
of the configuration.
This commit makes all replies in the gossip syncer synchronous, meaning
that they will wait for each message to be successfully written to the
remote peer before attempting to send the next. This helps throttle
messages the remote peer has requested, preventing unintended
disconnects when the remote peer is slow to process messages. This
changes also helps out congestion in the peer by forcing the syncer to
buffer the messages instead of dumping them into the peer's queue.
This commit creates a distinct replyHandler, completely isolating the
requesting state machine from the processing of queries from the remote
peer. Before the two were interlaced, and the syncer could only reply to
messages in certain states. Now the two will be complete separated,
which is preliminary step to make the replies synchronous (as otherwise
we would be blocking our own requesting state machine).
With this changes, the channelGraphSyncer of each peer will drive the
replyHanlder of the other. The two can now operate independently, or
even spun up conditionally depending on advertised support for gossip
queries, as shown below:
A B
channelGraphSyncer ---control-msg--->
replyHandler
channelGraphSyncer <--control-msg----
gossiper <--gossip-msgs----

In this commit, we begin to queue any active syncers until the initial
historical sync has completed. We do this to ensure we can properly
handle any new channel updates at tip. This is required for fresh nodes
that are syncing the channel graph for the first time. If we begin
accepting updates at tip while the initial historical sync is still
ongoing, then we risk not processing certain updates since we've yet to
learn of the channels themselves.
In this commit, we add logic to handle a peer with whom we're performing
an initial historical sync disconnecting. This is required to ensure we
get as much of the graph as possible when starting a fresh node. It will
also serve useful to ensure we do not get stalled once we prevent active
GossipSyncers from starting until the initial historical sync has
completed.
Now that the roundRobinHandler is no longer present, this commit aims to
clean up and simplify some of the logic surrounding initializing/tearing
down new/stale GossipSyncers from the SyncManager. Along the way, we
also synchronize these calls with the syncerHandler, which will serve
useful in future work that allows us to recovery from initial historical
sync disconnections.
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.
In this commit, we remove the ability for ActiveSync GossipSyncers to
synchronize our graph with our remote peers. This serves as a starting
point towards allowing the daemon to only synchronize our graph through
historical syncs, which will be routinely done by the SyncManager.
In this commit, we extend the gossiper with support for external callers
to provide optional fields that can serve as useful when processing a
specific network announcement. This will serve useful for light clients,
which are unable to obtain the channel point and capacity for a given
channel, but can provide them manually for their own set of channels.
Assuming a graph size of 50,000 channels, an interval of 20 minutes
would cause nodes to consume about 600MB per month in bandwidth doing
these routine historical sync spot checks. In this commit, we increase
to one hour, which consumes about 300MB per month.
In this commit, we modify the main loop in `processChanPolicyUpdate` to
send updates for private channels directly to the remote peer via the
reliable message sender. This fixes a prior issue where the remote peer
wouldn't receive new updates as this method doesn't go through the
traditional path for channel updates.
In this commit, we add a new test case to exercise a recent bug fix to
ensure that we no longer broadcast private channel policy changes. Along
the way, a few helper functions were added to slim down the test to the
core logic compared to some of the existing tests in this package. In
the future, these new helper functions should be utilized more widely for
tests in this package in order to cut down on some of the duplicated
logic.
This commit reduces the number of channels a syncer will request from
the remote node in a single QueryShortChanIDs message. The current size
is derived from the chunkSize, which is meant to signal the maximum
number of short chan ids that can fit in a single ReplyChannelRange
message. For EncodingSortedPlain, this number is 8000, and we use the
same number to dictate the size of the batch from the remote peer.
We modify this by introducing a separately configurable batchSize, so
that both can be tuned independently. The value is chosen to reduce the
amount of buffering the remote party will perform, only requiring them
queue 500 responses, as opposed to 8000. In turn, this reduces larges
spikes in allocation on the remote node at the expense of a few extra
round trips for the control messages. However, will be negligible since
the control messages are much smaller than the messages being returned.
In this commit, we address a bug where we'd attempt to replace the
stale active syncer when it transitioned to a passive syncer. This
replacement logic is only intended to happen when the active syncer
disconnects, as rotateActiveSyncerCandidate chooses and queues its own
replacement.
As required by the spec:
> SHOULD send all gossip messages whose timestamp is greater or equal to
first_timestamp, and less than first_timestamp plus timestamp_range.
In this commit, we introduce a new subsystem for the gossiper: the
SyncManager. This subsystem is a major overhaul on the way the daemon
performs the graph query sync state machine with peers.
Along with this subsystem, we also introduce the concept of an active
syncer. An active syncer is simply a GossipSyncer currently operating
under an ActiveSync sync type. Before this commit, all GossipSyncer's
would act as active syncers, which means that we were receiving new
graph updates from all of them. This isn't necessary, as it greatly
increases bandwidth usage as the network grows. The SyncManager changes
this by requiring a specific number of active syncers. Once we reach
this specified number, any future peers will have a GossipSyncer with a
PassiveSync sync type.
It is responsible for three main things:
1. Choosing different peers randomly to receive graph updates from to
ensure we don't only receive them from the same set of peers.
2. Choosing different peers to force a historical sync with to ensure we
have as much of the public network as possible. The first syncer
registered with the manager will also attempt a historical sync.
3. Managing an in-order queue of active syncers where the next cannot be
started until the current one has completed its state machine to ensure
they don't overlap and request the same set of channels, which
significantly reduces bandwidth usage and addresses a number of issues.
In this commit, we introduce another feature to the GossipSyncer in
which it can deliver a signal to an external caller once it reaches its
terminal chansSynced state. This is yet to be used, but will serve
useful with a round-robin sync mechanism, where we wait for to finish
syncing with a specific peer before moving on to the next.
In this commit, we introduce the ability for gossip syncers to perform
historical syncs. This allows us to reconcile any channels we're missing
that the remote peer has starting from the genesis block of the chain.
This commit serves as a prerequisite to the SyncManager, introduced in a
later commit, where we'll be able to make spot checks by performing
historical syncs with peers to ensure we have as much of the graph as
possible.
In this commit, we introduce the ability for GossipSyncer's to
transition their sync type. This allows us to be more flexible with our
gossip syncers, as we can now prevent them from receiving new graph
updates at any time. It's now possible to transition between the
different sync types, as long as the GossipSyncer has reached its
terminal chansSynced sync state. Certain transitions require some
additional wire messages to be sent, like in the case of an ActiveSync
GossipSyncer transitioning to a PassiveSync type.
With the introduction of the gossip sync manager in a later commit,
retrieving the backlog of updates within the last hour is no longer
necessary as we'll be forcing full syncs periodically.
In this commit, we introduce a new type: SyncerType. This type denotes
the type of sync a GossipSyncer is currently under. We only introduce
the two possible entry states, ActiveSync and PassiveSync. An ActiveSync
GossipSyncer will exchange channels with the remote peer and receive new
graph updates from them, while a PassiveSync GossipSyncer will not and
will only response to the remote peer's queries.
This commit does not modify the behavior and is only meant to be a
refactor.
In this commit, we address an assumption of the gossiper's recently
introduce reliable sender. The reliable sender is currently only used
for messages of unannounced channels. This makes sense as peers should
be able to retrieve messages from the network if they've previously
announced. However, within isMsgStale, we assumed that the reliable
sender would be used for every ChannelUpdate being sent, even if the
channel is already announced. Due to this, checking if the policy is
stale was unnecessary. But since this isn't the case, we should actually
be checking whether it is stale to prevent sending it later on.
In this commit, we address an issue with our router mock in which it was
not properly storing and retrieving edge policies. Previously, they were
being appended to a slice of policies, but this doesn't always work like
when you attempt to update the same edge twice. Instead, the slice can
only contain up to two entries, each one being the latest version of
each direction.
In this commit, we leverage the recently introduced zombie edge index to
quickly reject announcements for edges we've previously deemed as
zombies. Care has been taken to ensure we don't reject fresh updates for
edges we've considered zombies.
In this commit, we also allow channel updates for our channels to be
sent reliably to our channel counterparty. This is especially crucial
for private channels, since they're not announced, in order to ensure
each party can receive funds from the other side.
In this commit, we implement a new subsystem for the gossiper that
uses some of the existing logic for resending channel announcement
signatures and implements it in a way to make it message-agnostic,
meaning that any type of message can be resent. Along the way we also
modify the way this works to prevent multiple goroutines per peer _and_
message.
A peerHandler will be spawned for each peer for which we attempt to send
a message reliably to. This handler is responsible for managing requests
to reliably send messages to a peer while also taking the peer's
connection lifecycle into account by requesting notifications for when
the peer connects/disconnects. A peer connection notification is first
requested to determine when we should attempt to send any pending
messages. After the messages are sent, a peer disconnection notification
is requested to ensure we don't continue to request connection
notifications while the peer remains connected. Once there are no more
pending messages left to be sent for a given peer, the peerHandler can
be torn down.
In this commit, we add a new store within the database that'll be
responsible for storing gossip messages which we need to reliably send
to peers. This aims to replace the current messageStore that exists
within the gossiper, so much of this logic is borrowed from there.
One of the main differences between the two is that we now index
messages with a new key format in which we take into account the
message's type. This allows us to store different messages for a
specific channel with a peer. The old key format is still supported in
order to prevent a database migration.
In this commit, we alter the ValidateChannelUpdateAnn function in
ann_validation to validate a remote ChannelUpdate's message flags
and max HTLC field. If the message flag is set but the max HTLC
field is not set or vice versa, the ChannelUpdate fails validation.

In this commit, we alter the gossiper test's helper method
that creates channel updates to include the max htlc field
in the ChannelUpdates it creates.
Co-authored-by: Johan T. Halseth <johanth@gmail.com>
In this commit, we modify the mockGraphSource's `AddEdge`
method to set the capacity of the edge it's adding to be a large
capacity.
This will enable us to test the validation of each ChannelUpdate's
max HTLC, since future validation checks will ensure the specified
max HTLC is less than total channel capacity.
In this commit:
* we partition lnwire.ChanUpdateFlag into two (ChanUpdateChanFlags and
ChanUpdateMsgFlags), from a uint16 to a pair of uint8's
* we rename the ChannelUpdate.Flags to ChannelFlags and add an
additional MessageFlags field, which will be used to indicate the
presence of the optional field HtlcMaximumMsat within the ChannelUpdate.
* we partition ChannelEdgePolicy.Flags into message and channel flags.
This change corresponds to the partitioning of the ChannelUpdate's Flags
field into MessageFlags and ChannelFlags.

A recent commit modified the `IsNodeStale` method in the mocks to mirror
the actual implementation in the gossiper. As a result, we now expect
one less node announcement to be broadcast.
In this commit, we allow the gossiper to also broadcast the
corresponding node announcements, if we know of them, of a channel when
constructing its full proof. We do this to ensure peers (other than our
remote peer) receive all the relevant announcements for a channel.
The tests changes were made to ensure the new behavior introduced works
as intended. Previously, the node announcements for each test channel
announcement were not processed, so they never existed from the
gossiper's point of view.
This also addresses an existing flake in the integration test
`testNodeAnnouncement`. This problem arose due to the node announcement
being sent before the connection between Dave (node announcement sender)
and Alice (node announcement receiver) was initiated and the full
channel proof was constructed.
This commit passes the peer's quit signal to the
gossipSyncer when attempt to hand off gossip query
messages. This allows a rate-limited peer's read
handler to break out immediately, which would
otherwise remain stuck until the rate-limited
gossip syncer pulled the message.
This commit restructures the delivery of gossip
query related messages, such that they are delivered
directly to the gossip syncers. Gossip query rate
limiting was introduced in #1824 on a per-peer basis.
However, since all gossip query messages were being
delivered in the main event loop, the end result is
that one rate-limited peer could stall all other
peers.
In addition, since no other peers would be able to
submit gossip-related messages through the blocked
event loop, the back pressure would eventually rate
limit the read handlers of all peers as well.
The end result would be lengthy delays in reading
messages related to htlc forwarding.
The fix is to lift the delivery of gossip query
messages outside of the main event loop. With
this change, the rate limiting backpressure is
delivered only to the intended peer.
To mimic the current behaviour of the router's IsStaleNode, we make the
mockGraphSource consider a unknown node with no channels in the graph as
stale.
ann last
In this commit, we modify TestProcessAnnouncement to process the node
announcement last. We do this due to the recent change in the gossiper
where we'll only forward node announcements of nodes who intend to
advertised themselves within the network.
This change was needed in order to allow the node announcement to be
broadcast to the greater network, as otherwise the gossiper would assume
the node intends to stay private due to not having any advertised edges.
In this commit, we modify the gossiper to no longer broadcast
NodeAnnouncements of nodes who intend to remain private. We do this to
prevent leaking their information to the greater network.
Previously, gossiper was the only object that validated channel
updates. Because updates can also be received as part of a
failed payment session in the routing package, validation logic
needs to be available there too. Gossiper already depends on
routing and having routing call the validation logic inside
gossiper would be a circular dependency. Therefore the validation
was moved to routing.
This commit replaces the simplistic rate limiting
technique added in 557cb6e2, to use the
golang.org/x/time's rate limiter. This has the
benefit of performing traffic shaping to meet a
target maximum rate, and yet tolerate bursts. Bursts
are expected during initial sync, though should become
more rare afterwards. Performing traffic shaping with
this mechanism should improve the ability of the gossip
syncer to detect sustained bursts from the remote peer,
and penalize them appropriately.
This commit also modifies the default parameters to
accept bursts of 10 queries, with a target rate of 1
reply every 5 seconds.
This commit removes the fallback in fetchGossipSyncer
that creates a gossip syncer if one is not registered
w/in the gossiper. Now that we register gossip syncers
explicitly before reading any gossip query messages,
this should not longer be required. The fallback also
did not honor the cfg.NoChanUpdates flag, which may
have led to inconsistencies between configuration and
actual behavior.
restransmitStaleChannels
In this commit, we add an additional error check for
ErrNoGraphEdgesFound when restransmitting stale channels during the
gossiper's startup. We do this to prevent benign log messages as we'll
log that we were unable to retransmit stale channels when we didn't have
any channels in our graph to begin with.
In this commit, we aim to resolve an issue with nodes requesting for
channel announcements when receiving a channel update for a channel
they're not aware of. This can happen if a node is not caught up with
the chain or if they receive updates for zombie channels. This would
lead to a spam issue, as if a node is not caught up with the chain,
every new update they receive is premature, causing them to manually
request the backing channel announcement. Ideally, we should be able to
detect this as a potential DoS vector and ban the node responsible, but
for now we'll simply remove this functionality.
In this commit, we select on the peer's QuitSignal to allow the caller
to unblock if the peer itself is disconnecting. With this change, we now
ensure that it isn't possible for a peer to block on this method and
prevent a graceful exit.
Previosuly we would immediately return nil on the error channel for
premature ChannelUpdates, which would break the expection that a a
returned non-error meant the update was successfully added to the
database. This meant that the caller would believe the update was added
to the database, while it is actually still in volatile memory and can
be lost during restarts.
This change makes us handle premature ChannelUpdates as we handle other
premature announcements within the gossiper, by deferring sending on the
error channel until we have reprocessed the update.
Previously we wouldn't return anything in the case where the
announcement were meant for a chain we didn't recognize. After this
change we should return an error on the error channel in all flows
within the gossiper.
Corrects an instance that holds a reference to a boltdb
byte slice after returning from the transaction. This
can cause panics under certain conditions, which is
avoided by creating a copy of the key.
In this commit, we allow the gossiper syncer to store the chunk size for
its respective encoding type. We do this to prevent a race condition
that would arise within the unit tests by modifying the values of the
encodingTypeToChunkSize map to allow for easier testing.
In this commit, we randomize the order of the different bootstrappers in
order to prevent from always querying potentially unreliable
bootstrappers first.
In this commit, we fix the logging when adding new gossip syncers. The
old log would log the byte array, rather than the byte slice. We fix
this by slicing before logging.
This commit changes the gossiper to direct messages to
peer objects, instead of sending them through the
server every time. The primary motivation is to reduce
contention on the server's mutex and, more importantly,
avoid deadlocks in the Triangle of Death.
In this commit, we go through the codebase looking for TCP address
assumptions and modifying them to include the recently introduced onion
addresses. This enables us to fully support onion addresses within the
daemon.
In this commit, we fix a bug where a fallback SRV lookup would leak
information if `lnd` was set to route connections over Tor. We solve
this by using the network-specific functions rather than the standard
ones found in the `net` package.
In this commit, we fix an existing deadlock in the
gossiper->server->peer pipeline by ensuring that we're not holding the
syncer mutex while we attempt to have a syncer filter out the rest of
gossip messages.
In this commit we fix an existing bug caused by a scheduling race
condition. We'll now ensure that if we get a gossip message from a peer
before we create an instance for it, then we create one on the spot so
we can service the message. Before this commit, we would drop the first
message, and therefore never sync up with the peer at all, causing them
to miss channel announcements.
In this commit, we extend the AuthenticatedGossiper to take advantage of
the new query features in the case that it gets a channel update w/o
first receiving the full channel announcement. If this happens, we'll
attempt to find a syncer that's fully synced, and request the channel
announcement from it.
This new method allows outside callers to sample the current state of
the gossipSyncer in a concurrent-safe manner. In order to achieve this,
we now only modify the g.state variable atomically.
In this commit, we create a new concrete implementation for the new
discovery.ChannelGraphTimeSeries interface. We also export the
createChannelAnnouncement method to allow the chanSeries struct to
re-use the existing code for creating wire messages from the database
structs.
In this commit, we update the logic in the AuthenticatedGossiper to
ensure that can properly create, manage, and dispatch messages to any
gossipSyncer instances created by the server.
With this set of changes, the gossip now has complete knowledge of the
current set of peers we're conneted to that support the new range
queries. Upon initial connect, InitSyncState will be called by the
server if the new peer understands the set of gossip queries. This will
then create a new spot in the peerSyncers map for the new syncer. For
each new gossip query message, we'll then attempt to dispatch the
message directly to the gossip syncer. When the peer has disconnected,
we then expect the server to call the PruneSyncState method which will
allow us to free up the resources.
Finally, when we go to broadcast messages, we'll send the messages
directly to the peers that have gossipSyncer instances active, so they
can properly be filtered out. For those that don't we'll broadcast
directly, ensuring we skip *all* peers that have an active gossip
syncer.
In this commit, introduce a new struct, the gossipSyncer. The role of
this struct is to encapsulate the state machine required to implement
the new gossip query range feature recently added to the spec. With this
change, each peer that knows of this new feature will have a new
goroutine that will be managed by the gossiper.
Once created and started, the gossipSyncer will start to progress
through each possible state, finally ending at the chansSynced stage. In
this stage, it has synchronized state with the remote peer, and is
simply awaiting any new messages from the gossiper to send directly to
the peer. Each message will only be sent if the remote peer actually has
a set update horizon, and the message isn't before or after that
horizon.
A set of unit tests has been added to ensure that two state machines
properly terminate and synchronize channel state.
In this commit, we update the testUpdateChannelPolicy to exercise the
recent set of changes within the switch. If one applies this test to a
fresh branch (without those new changes) it should fail. This is due to
the fact that before, Bob would attempt to apply the constraints of the
incoming link (which we updated) instead of the outgoing link. With the
recent set of changes, the test now properly passes.
In this commit, we fix an existing deadlock in the
processChanPolicyUpdate method. Before this commit, within
processChanPolicyUpdate, we would directly call updateChannel *within*
the ForEachChannel closure. This would at times result in a deadlock, as
updateChannel will itself attempt to create a write transaction in order
to persist the newly updated channel.
We fix this deadlock by simply performing another loop once we know the
set of channels that we wish to update. This second loop will actually
update the channels on disk.
In this commit, fix the inability of some users to connect to the DNS
seed using our direct TCP fallback. We do this as some resolvers filter
out our large SRV requests due to their size (they also include public
keys). Instead, we’ll use a direct TCP resolution in this case.
However, after a recent change, we forgot the period at the end of the
target DNS host. This is an issue as the domain needs to be fully
qualified.
The fix is easy, add a period within our string formatting to target
the proper sub-domain and SRV target.
Fixes#854.
In this commit, we update the DNS bootstrapper to match the new query
semantics expected by the new DNS server. We no longer hard code the
target DNS host, and instead, we’ll re-use the same target endpoint as
we only need the soaShim in order to establish a direct TCP connection
for the queries.
In this commit, we reduce the amount of unnecessary work that the
gossiper can carry out. When CPU profiling some nodes, I noticed that
we’d spend a lot of time validating the signatures for an announcement,
only to realize that the router already had it.
To remedy this, we’ll use the new methods added to the channel router
in order to avoid unnecessarily validating an announcement that is
actually stale. This should reduce memory usage (since it uses big
int’s under the scenes), and also idle CPU usage.
This commit adds a new module named 'torsvc' which houses all Tor
functionality in an attempt to isolate it and make it reusable in
other projecs. Some additional tweaks were made to config.go and
to the bootstrapper.
This commit adds Tor support. Users can set the --TorSocks flag
to specify which port Tor's SOCKS5 proxy is listening on so that
lnd can connect to it. When this flag is set, ALL traffic gets
routed over Tor including DNS traffic. Special functions for
DNS lookups were added, and since Tor doesn't natively support
SRV requests, the proxySRV function routes connects us to
a DNS server via Tor and SRV requests can be issued directly
to the DNS server.

In order to reduce high CPU utilization during the initial network view
sync, we slash down the total number of active in-flight jobs that can
be launched.
This commit uses the multimutex.Mutex to esure database
state stays consistent when handling an announcement, by
restricting access to one goroutine per channel ID.
This fixes a bug where the goroutine would read the
database, make some decisions based on what was read,
then write its data to the database, but the read data
would be outdated at this point. For instance, an
AuthProof could have been added between reading the
database and when the decision whether to announce
the channel is made, making it not announce it.
Similarly, when receiving the AuthProof, the edge
policy could be added between reading the edge state
and adding the proof to the database, also resulting
in the edge not being announced.
This commit fixes a bug that could cause annoucements
to get lost, and resultet in flaky integration tests.
After a set of announcements was broadcastet, we would
reset (clear) the announcement batch, making any
annoucement that was added between the call to Emit()
and Reset() to be deleted, without ever being broadcast.
We can just remove the Reset() call, as the batch will
actually be reset within the call to Emit(), making
the previous call only delete those messages we hadn't
sent yet.
We no longer need to hand off new channels that come online as the
chainWatcher will be persistent, and always have an active signal for
the entire lifetime of the channel.
This commit ensures that we always increment the timestamp of
ChannelUpdates we send telling the network about changes to
our channel policy. We do this because it could happen
(especially during tests) that we issued an update, but the
ChannelUpdate would have the same timestamp as our last
ChannelUpdate, and would be ignored by the network.
This commit makes the gossiper aware of the timestamps
of ChannelUpdates and NodeAnnouncements, such that it
only keeps the newest message when deduping. Earlier
it would always keep the last received message, which
in some cases could be outdated.
This commit makes sure we are not attempting to create a
channel announcement with a nil ChannelAuthProof, as that
could cause a crash at startup whe the gossiper would
attempt to reprocess an edge coming from the fundingmanager.
It also makes sure we check the correct error returned from
processRejectedEdge.
In this commit, we make an incremental step towards page of the new
feature of deDupedAnnoucnements to return the set of senders for each
message. All methods the process new channel announcements, will now
return an instance of networkMsg rather than lnwire.Message. This will
allow passing the returned announcement directly into
deDupedAnnoucnements.AddMsg().
In this commit, we modify the deDupedAnnouncements struct slightly. The
element of this struct will now keep track of the set of senders that
sent a particular message. Each time a message is added, we’ll replace
the new message with the old (as normal), but we’ll also add the new
sender to the set of known senders.
With this new feature, we’ll be able to avoid re-sending a message to
the peer that sent it to us in the first place.
This commit makes the gossiper track the state of a local
AnnounceSignature message, such that it can retry sending
it to the remote peer if needed. It will also persist this
state in the WaitingProofStore, such that it can resume
from this state at startup.
This commit adds a test that ensures that if we receive a
ChannelUpdate for a channel we don't know about, it will
be reprocessed after we receive a ChannelAnnouncement for
that channel.
This commit makes the gossiper store received ChannelUpdates
that is not for any known channel in a map, such that they
can be reprocessed when the ChannelAnnouncement arrives.
This is done to handle the case where we receive a ChannelUpdate
from our channel counterparty before we have been able to process
our own local ChannelAnnouncement.
This commit adds some comments and does some cleanup
of the logic that makes sure non-public channels
(channels with no AuthProof) are not broadcasted
to the network.
This commit fixes an existing bug wherein we would blank out a node’s
color instead of properly setting the field when syncing graph state
with another node This would cause the node to reject the node
announcement and we would generate an we would invalidate the signature
of the node announcement. We fix this simply by properly setting the
node announcement.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug when processing new node
announcement. Before this commit, we wouldn’t also copy over the color
field of a node’s announcement. As a result, when went to synchronize
our graph state with that of a connecting peer, we would generate an
invalid node announcement. We fix this by properly setting the color
field of a node.
In this commit, we now properly examine the Flag field within the
ChannelUpdate message as a bitfield. Before this commit we would
manually check the flags for zero or one. This was incorrect as a their
bit has now been defined. To properly dispatch the messages, we’ll now
treat it properly as a bitmask.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug within the
createChanAnnouncement function. Before we would set the flag to be 0,
or 1 depending on which edge it was. This was incorrect as since then
additional flags have been defined. We now properly set the entire
flag, rather than taking a shortcut. With this, we’ll properly
advertise all ChannelUpdate announcements.
Add tests for new deDupedAnnouncements struct in gossiper_test.
Test the various functionalities of the struct - that empty
struct contains no announcements, that announcements of each type
can be added and properly de-duplicated, that the batch of
announcements is delivered correctly, and that after reset the
struct again contains no announcements.
Add option to set trickleDelay for AuthenticatedGossiper in
command line, with default value of 300 milliseconds. Pass this
value to newServer, which uses it when creating a new instance of

creating nodes in integration tests.
For Part 1 of Issue #275. Create isolated private struct in
networkHandler goroutine that will de-duplicate
announcements added to the batch. The struct contains maps
for each of channel announcements, channel updates, and
node announcements to keep track of unique announcements.
The struct has a Reset method to reset stored announcements, an
AddMsg(lnwire.Message) method to add a new message to the current
batch, and a Batch method to return the set of de-duplicated
announcements.
Also fix a few minor typos.
In this commit, we fix an existing bug that could result in a panic if
we received a ChannelUpdate message with an unknown set of flags. If
the flag wasn’t set to zero or one, then the pubKey parameter would be
still nil when we attempted to validate it, causing an error to occur.
We remedy this by instead returning an error if the flags are unknown.
In a future commit, we will properly handle the set of flags that
indicates the channel should be disabled.
In this commit, we add a TCP fallback option for the
DNSSeedBootstrapper. We’ve received many reports of users unable to
bootstrap properly to the network due to the size of the SRV records we
currently return. It has been observed that many revolvers will simply
truncate and ignore the response due to the (current size).
To resolve (no pun intended) we now attempt to detect this failure mode
and will fallback to a manual TCP resolution in the case that our SRV
query over UDP fails. We do this by querying the special record at the
"soa." sub-domain of supporting DNS servers. The retuned IP address
will be the IP address of the authoritative DNS server. Once we have
this IP address, we'll connect manually over TCP to request the SRV
record. This is necessary as the records we return are currently too
large for a class of resolvers, causing them to be filtered out.
This commit refactors the SynchronizeNode logic such that
it can be called without interacting with the gossiper's
main execution loop. This method does not require access
to any of the gossiper's internal state, making the change
fairly straightforward. The primary motivation behind
this change is to minimize the possibility of introducing
deadlock scenarios between the gossiper and server.
