Definition[edit | edit source]
message Pong { int64 nonce = 1; int64 client_time_ms = 2; int64 server_time_ms = 3; }
Fields[edit | edit source]
| # | Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | nonce |
int64 |
The ping's nonce.
|
| 2 | client_time_ms |
int64 |
The ping's client_time_ms.
|
| 3 | server_time_ms |
int64 |

Round-trip time is now − client_time_ms. An estimate of the server clock offset is server_time_ms − (client_time_ms + now) / 2.
