---

1. Ensure high availability

• Minimize node downtime
• May require monitoring of critical technical parameters (may not be in scope for RTL)

2. Maximize routing fee collection

• Monitor the traffic volume on the node
• Monitor high traffic channels
• Optimize routing fee per channel

3. Monitoring channel balances

• Monitor channels getting out-of-balance
• Take action for channel re-balancing

4. Monitoring high traffic nodes

• Define criterion for 'High-Traffic'
• Distinguish high traffic nodes from low traffic
• Optimize fee for high traffic node channels

5. Network Discovery

• Monitor for under-served parts of the network
• Deploy liquidity for under-served nodes

6. Multi-node Control

• Manage more than one node via a dashboard
• High level metrics for each node
• Simple access to drill down to each node
