Invoices can also include a fallback Bitcoin address to which the payment can be made in case no route can be found, as well as hints for routing a payment through a private channel.
Lightning Message::
A Lightning message is an encrypted data string that can be sent between two peers on the Lightning Network. Similar to other communication protocols lightning messages consist of a header and a body. The header and the body have their own HMAC. This ensures that the headers of fixed length will also be encrypted and adversaries won't be able to figure out what messages are being send by inspecting the length.
