Description
Submitted by @matthew:matrix.org
It could be nice to have a way to tell clients how lagged they are - either as a ping/pong API, or more metadata on /sync, or perhaps something in the transport layer
(Imported from https://matrix.org/jira/browse/SPEC-341)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the /sync entry point and the existing ping/pong and transport-layer behavior described in the issue. Compare the alternatives and document a decided way for clients to measure lag, including the protocol behavior and completion criteria.
