On the Internet we use the internet protocol and the IP forwarding algorithm to forward internet packages from the sender to the destination.
While the TCP/IP protocol stack allows reliable communication by resending packages that are not acknowledged this mechanism could not be reused directly in the Lightning Network.
A payment that is not being forwarded would effectivly mean that the money was stolen by a router and the sender cannot just send out another payment.
While the routing protocol together with the border gateway protocol which are used for data and infrmation transport on the internet have the really nice property of allowing the internet hosts to collaboratively finding a path for the information through the internet we cannot reuse and adopt this protocol for forwarding payments on the Lightninh network.
