• rpc HtlcInterceptor (stream ForwardHtlcInterceptResponse, stream ForwardHtlcInterceptRequest)

  router.proto:149

  * HtlcInterceptor dispatches a bi-directional streaming RPC in which Forwarded HTLC requests are sent to the client and the client responds with a boolean that tells LND if this htlc should be intercepted. In case of interception, the htlc can be either settled, cancelled or resumed later by using the ResolveHoldForward endpoint.

  message ForwardHtlcInterceptResponse

  router.proto:910

  * ForwardHtlcInterceptResponse enables the caller to resolve a previously hold forward. The caller can choose either to: - `Resume`: Execute the default behavior (usually forward). - `Reject`: Fail the htlc backwards. - `Settle`: Settle this htlc with a given preimage.

    The htlc payment hash. This value is not guaranteed to be unique per request.

  • uint64 outgoing_requested_chan_id = 7

    The requested outgoing channel id for this forwarded htlc. Because of non-strict forwarding, this isn't necessarily the channel over which the packet will be forwarded eventually. A different channel to the same peer may be selected as well.

  message SubscribeHtlcEventsRequest

  router.proto:654

  (message has no fields)

  message HtlcEvent

  router.proto:665

  HtlcEvent contains the htlc event that was processed. These are served on a best-effort basis; events are not persisted, delivery is not guaranteed (in the event of a crash in the switch, forward events may be lost) and some events may be replayed upon restart. Events consumed from this package should be de-duplicated by the htlc's unique combination of incoming and outgoing channel id and htlc id. [EXPERIMENTAL]

    The short channel id that the incoming htlc arrived at our node on. This value is zero for sends.

• rpc TrackPaymentV2 (TrackPaymentRequest, stream lnrpc.Payment)

  router.proto:29

  TrackPaymentV2 returns an update stream for the payment identified by the payment hash.

• rpc TrackPayments (TrackPaymentsRequest, stream lnrpc.Payment)

  router.proto:39

  TrackPayments returns an update stream for every payment that is not in a terminal state. Note that if payments are in-flight while starting a new subscription, the start of the payment stream could produce out-of-order and/or duplicate events. In order to get updates for every in-flight payment attempt make sure to subscribe to this method before initiating any payments.

  message TrackPaymentsRequest

  router.proto:324

  • bool no_inflight_updates = 1

    If set, only the final payment updates are streamed back. Intermediate updates that show which htlcs are still in flight are suppressed.

• rpc UpdateChanStatus (UpdateChanStatusRequest, UpdateChanStatusResponse)

  router.proto:158

  UpdateChanStatus attempts to manually set the state of a channel (enabled, disabled, or auto). A manual "disable" request will cause the channel to stay disabled until a subsequent manual request of either "enable" or "auto".

  • optional lnrpc.ChannelPoint chan_point = 1

  • ChanStatusAction action = 2

  message UpdateChanStatusResponse

• rpc XImportMissionControl (XImportMissionControlRequest, XImportMissionControlResponse)

  router.proto:86

  XImportMissionControl is an experimental API that imports the state provided to the internal mission control's state, using all results which are more recent than our existing values. These values will only be imported in-memory, and will not be persisted across restarts.

  message XImportMissionControlRequest

  router.proto:400

  • repeated PairHistory pairs = 1

    Node pair-level mission control state to be imported.

  • bool force = 2

    Whether to force override MC pair history. Note that even with force override the failure pair is imported before the success pair and both still clamp existing failure/success amounts.

  message XImportMissionControlResponse

  router.proto:410

  (message has no fields)

Used in: MissionControlConfig

• uint64 half_life_seconds = 1

  The amount of time mission control will take to restore a penalized node or channel back to 50% success probability, expressed in seconds. Setting this value to a higher value will penalize failures for longer, making mission control less likely to route through nodes and channels that we have previously recorded failures for.

• double hop_probability = 2

  The probability of success mission control should assign to hop in a route where it has no other information available. Higher values will make mission control more willing to try hops that we have no information about, lower values will discourage trying these hops.

• double weight = 3

  The importance that mission control should place on historical results, expressed as a value in [0;1]. Setting this value to 1 will ignore all historical payments and just use the hop probability to assess the probability of success for each hop. A zero value ignores hop probability completely and relies entirely on historical results, unless none are available.

• double capacity_fraction = 4

  The fraction of a channel's capacity that we consider to have liquidity. For amounts that come close to or exceed the fraction, an additional penalty is applied. A value of 1.0 disables the capacity factor. Allowed values are in [0.75, 1.0].

Used in: MissionControlConfig

• double node_weight = 1

  NodeWeight defines how strongly other previous forwardings on channels of a router should be taken into account when computing a channel's probability to route. The allowed values are in the range [0, 1], where a value of 0 means that only direct information about a channel is taken into account.

• uint64 scale_msat = 2

  ScaleMsat describes the scale over which channels statistically have some liquidity left. The value determines how quickly the bimodal distribution drops off from the edges of a channel. A larger value (compared to typical channel capacities) means that the drop off is slow and that channel balances are distributed more uniformly. A small value leads to the assumption of very unbalanced channels.

• uint64 decay_time = 3

  DecayTime describes the information decay of knowledge about previous successes and failures in channels. The smaller the decay time, the quicker we forget about past forwardings.

Used in: GetMissionControlConfigResponse, SetMissionControlConfigRequest

• uint64 half_life_seconds = 1

  Deprecated, use AprioriParameters. The amount of time mission control will take to restore a penalized node or channel back to 50% success probability, expressed in seconds. Setting this value to a higher value will penalize failures for longer, making mission control less likely to route through nodes and channels that we have previously recorded failures for.

• float hop_probability = 2

  Deprecated, use AprioriParameters. The probability of success mission control should assign to hop in a route where it has no other information available. Higher values will make mission control more willing to try hops that we have no information about, lower values will discourage trying these hops.

• float weight = 3

  Deprecated, use AprioriParameters. The importance that mission control should place on historical results, expressed as a value in [0;1].

  The maximum number of satoshis that will be paid as a fee of the payment. If this field is left to the default value of 0, only zero-fee routes will be considered.

  Features assumed to be supported by the final node. All transitive feature dependencies must also be set properly. For a given feature bit pair, either optional or remote may be set, but not both.
