Lightning Network simulation

[guyhada]

I'm trying to think on autopilot strategies, and my first step was to look for some simulation environment.

The only thing I could find is CLoTH (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.09940.pdf) but I don't think they released the code or planning to do it.
Is there any other simulation for lightning network?
if not, how do one tests ideas for autopilot strategies?

Thanks

Hi,

you can use the "NodeFactory" class from the C-Lightning test suite, setting up Bitcoin regtest nodes and LN nodes on top of it : https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/blob/f82e779f710da46fa7f19bcf61d1cd7f399e9c5e/tests/utils.py#L701 .
