Olaoluwa Osuntokun	8034780ca4	autopilot: fix chanID collision test flake by instead using atomic counter ... This commit fixes a prior occasional test flake caused by the collision of the randomly selected 64-bit integers. In order to get around this, we now instead have a atomic monotonically increasing counter for each channel ID used within the tests.	2017-08-15 17:56:24 -07:00
Olaoluwa Osuntokun	306c4aef8e	autopilot: "Look ma no hands!", introducing autopilot mode ... This commit introduces the initial implementation of the autopilot mode. Autopilot is new mode within lnd that enables automatic channel management. This means that if enabled lnd will attempt to automatically manage channels according to a set of heuristic defined within the main configuration for autopilot.Agent instance. The autopilot.Agent implements a simple closed control loop. It takes in external signals such as wallet balance updates, new open channel, and channels that are now closed the updates its internal state. With each external trigger it will consult the registered AttachmentHeuristic to decide: if it needs to open any more channels, and if so how much it should use to open the channels, ultimately returning a set of recommended AttachmentDirectives. The autopilot.Agent loop will then take those attempt to establish connection, and go back in waiting for a new external signal. With this first implementation the default heuristic is the ConstrainedPrefAttachment implementation of AttachmentHeuristic. Given a min and max channel size, a limit on the number of channels, and the percentage of wallet funds to allocate to channels, it will attempt to execute a heuristic drive by the Barabási–Albert model model in order to attempt to drive the global graph towards a scale free topology. This is commit implements a foundational layer for future simulations, optimization, and additional heuristics.	2017-08-10 21:14:55 -07:00
