Proposed Hybrid Routing Algorithm
As a way to satisfy the requirements listed in Section 1, we define a hybrid routing algorithm, which we call Flare, consisting of proactive and reactive stages. The idea behind this approach is that the state of LN can be split into two distinct parts:
slowly changing, or static, information (payment channels between nodes)
quickly changing, or dynamic, information (status of nodes, distribution of funds within pay- ment channels, fees for using a channel, etc.)
and then follows a long text on routing possibilities. If you are familiar with the way how networks in the IP world work, you find it quite easy to read, otherwise there'll be a learning curve :-)
I think I read somehwere a comparison to border gateway protocols, but couldn't find it right now...
Wow, nice paper, suddenly LN became very interesting to me ..
LN could resemble a mobile ad hoc network (MANET)
Is there any simulation of it (for instance using kernel-level network stack virtualization such as
http://imunes.net/ ) or maybe a discreve event simulation on NS2, Opnet etc ?
