 This is _Selena's_ channel graph. There is no such thing as _the_ channel graph, there is only ever _a channel graph_, and it is always from the perspective of the node that has constructed it (see <<map_territory_relation>>).

 ((("multipart payments (MPP)", id="ix_12_path_finding-asciidoc10", range="startofrange")))((("payment delivery","multipart payments", id="ix_12_path_finding-asciidoc11", range="startofrange")))_Multipart payments (MPP)_ are a feature that was introduced in the Lightning Network in 2020 and are already very widely available. Multipart payments allow a payment to be split into multiple _parts_ which are sent as HTLCs over several different paths to the intended recipient, preserving the _atomicity_ of the overall payment. In this context, atomicity means that either all the HTLC parts of a payment are eventually fulfilled or the  entire payment fails and all the HTLC parts fail. There is no possibility of a partially successful payment.
