Subject: Fix feature-specific documentation
X-Git-Url: http://git.bitcoin.ninja/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ee8defb8c6a8c35b58e1ac509e295739d345a8de;p=rust-lightning

Fix feature-specific documentation

Apparently documentation only applies to the first feature-specific
definition, not both.

+/// [`Score`] implementation using channel success probability distributions.
+///
+/// Based on *Optimally Reliable & Cheap Payment Flows on the Lightning Network* by Rene Pickhardt
+/// and Stefan Richter [[1]]. Given the uncertainty of channel liquidity balances, probability
+/// distributions are defined based on knowledge learned from successful and unsuccessful attempts.
+/// Then the negative `log10` of the success probability is used to determine the cost of routing a
+/// specific HTLC amount through a channel.
+///
+/// Knowledge about channel liquidity balances takes the form of upper and lower bounds on the
+/// possible liquidity. Certainty of the bounds is decreased over time using a decay function. See
+/// [`ProbabilisticScoringParameters`] for details.
+///
+/// Since the scorer aims to learn the current channel liquidity balances, it works best for nodes
+/// with high payment volume or that actively probe the [`NetworkGraph`]. Nodes with low payment
+/// volume are more likely to experience failed payment paths, which would need to be retried.
