<<payment_channels>>:: In this chapter we will look at how payment channels work, in significantly more depth than we saw in the earlier parts of the book. We will look at the structure and Bitcoin Script of the funding and commitment transactions and the process used by nodes to negotiate each step in the protocol.
<<routing>>:: Next, we will put together several payment channels in a network and route a payment from one end to the other. In that process we will dive into the Hash Time-Locked Contract smart contract and the Bitcoin Script that we use to construct it.

<<channel_operation>>:: Putting together the concepts of a simple payment channel and a routed payment using HTLCs, we will now look at how HTLCs are part of each channel's commitment transaction. We will also look at the protocol for adding, settling, failing, and removing HTLCs from the commitments.

<<gossip>>:: In this chapter we will look at how Lightning nodes find each other and learn about published channels to construct a channel graph that they can use to find paths across the network.
<<path_finding>>:: Next, we will see how the information from the gossip protocol is used by each node to build a "map" of the entire network, which it can use to find paths from one point to another to route payments. We'll also look at the exiting innovations in pathfinding such as Multi-Part Payments.

We'll also look at the exiting innovations in pathfinding such as multipart payments.
<<invoices>>:: A key part of the Lightning Network is payment requests, also known as Lightning Invoices. In this chapter we dissect the structure and encoding of an invoice.
