Description
Bifrost was definitely receiving data from prosody, as it was responding to requests from users however the responses were not being sent across to the clients, as responses seemed to time out. Potentially an issue either with bifrost either queueing up a message forever, or prosody getting stuck.

Start by reproducing the XMPP ping and messaging timeout between Prosody, Bifrost, and clients. Trace whether Bifrost queues messages indefinitely or whether Prosody becomes stuck; done means responses reliably reach clients across the bridge.
