|
|
* What knobs exist for a node to set in their channel updates?
|
|
* How often are channel updates sent?
|
|
* How does a node update its node in the channel graph? Do we we need to verify this?
|
|
* How quickly does an update propagate?
|
|
* What are "zombie" channels? Why do they matter?

|
* Channel graph syncing:
|
|
* What are the various ways a node can sync the channel graph?
|
|
* Which is the most efficient?
|
|
* What is the "gossip query" system?
|
|
* Does a node need to keep up with all gossip updates? Does this change if they're a routing node or mobile client?
|
|
* Protocol Extensions via Feature Bits and TLV:
|
|
* How can the channel graph be upgraded using feature bits and TLV fields?
|
|
* How does a receiver signal that they can accept MPP/AMP payments?
