Hi Benjamin,

currently the only piece of information that is kept contstant along the
entire route is the payment hash, and we will be removing that as well
in order to further decorrelate hops of a payment and make it harder for
forwarding nodes to collate hops into a route.

As ZmnSCPxj has pointed out we do have the possibility of adding some
information in the onion packet. You can even give every single hop its
very specific information in the onion. Say for example you have a node
that does currency conversion, you may specify the desired exchange rate
in the onion.

May I ask what use-case you are looking to implement using this feature?

Cheers,
Christian
