The Routing Score is an experimental metric to judge a node for its routing capabilities. The goal is to rank nodes that are able to forward a payment successfully and as fast as possible. The score acts as a single indicator for services/merchants to find good routing partners.
Factors
The score is based on the following factors:
- HTLC response time
- % of balanced channels
- Average hops to network
- Your peers balanced channels
- Your peers response time
The exact implementation details are not public yet as the score is a work in progress.
