For example the capacity of the payment channels is shared on the gossip protocol via the `channel_announcement` message. However this information is not as useful as the actual distribution of the capacity into a local balance between the two channel partners. This is obvious as a node can only forward the amount of bitcoin via a particular payment channel that it actually owns within that channel.
