ASLL Server-Server PING Format

From Developer Community

Documentation on how to use the G token (PING) in Nefarious IRCu- doc/readme.asll

AsLL preliminary documentation

Server-to-server ping format:

<prefix> G !<local-ts> <target> <local-ts>

prefix = origin server numeric
local-ts = local timestamp, as "seconds.miliseconds"
target = target server numeric

The local-ts is also sent instead of the origin field,
so RTT information can be collected from non-AsLL servers,
while preserving backward compatibility.


Server-to-server pong format:

<prefix> Z <origin> <target> <remote-ts> <diff> <local-ts>

prefix = origin server numeric
origin = origin server numeric
target = target server numeric
remote-ts = remote timestamp as received from an AsLL PING
diff = difference between local-ts and remote-ts in miliseconds (integer)
local-ts = local timestamp, as "seconds.miliseconds"
