<p>I got this message:</p>

<p>I tried looking in the logs. Just prior to the channel closing, seems like
there was a temporary network issue and the re-establishment message wasn't 
received by your node. Waited 5 minutes for a reply before our nodes retried 
(successfully) to re-connect. But I guess by then it was too late, the channel 
was already closed. What do you logs say?</p>

<p>Log Summary:</p>

<p>12:33    Received re-establishment message from remote side for channel

Rene, you are the expert, I don't understand it at all. I have no idea what I can do. Its a pitty, since only this channel seemed to contribute to collected fees. The link only tells me it can happen, but does not explain me how to defeat it.
