It is generally accepted that the transmission of a payment request (amount + H) from a payee to a payer will happen off-band, maybe through some kind of QR code on a webpage or something similar. We assumed that we could attach a piece of data (the payee's routing table) to this request. So you are right: this can be seen as a direct one-way communication, between the receiver and the sender.
