This should be long enough to allow a payment path drawn across multiple routing hops with substantial
cltv_expiry_delta
. Indeed, the length of those values is the reaction delay offered to a routing nodein case of HTLC on-chain settlement. While appearing less competitive, a node operator could decide to
scale them up to suit its security policy. At the network-level, we shouldn't constrain them too much,
while avoiding to introduce a DoS vector. Further, a low CTLV_FAR_FAR_AWAY could be a source of
routing failure for any HTLC sender picking up a LDK node among the first hops.
Also default value of both LND and CLN.
