## Safety
## Custom peer messages
Lightning nodes have a connection to each of their peers for exchanging
messages. In regular operation, these messages coordinate processes such as
channel opening and payment forwarding.
The lightning spec however also defines a custom range (>= 32768) for
experimental and application-specific peer messages.
With this release, [custom peer message
exchange](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5346) is added to open up
a range of new possibilities. Custom peer messages allow the lightning protocol
with its transport mechanisms (including tor) and public key authentication to
be leveraged for application-level communication. Note that peers exchange these
messages directly. There is no routing/path finding involved.
