//! Frames the session answers for itself.
//!
//! A [`Kind`](plaza_wire::frame::Kind) other than `Ops` is an instruction to
//! the session and never reaches the application. Probes are answered here on
//! the connection task; a `Hello` is forwarded and recorded by the deserialize
//! bridge. Both transports call in here, which is why a latency probe behaves
//! the same over a WebSocket and over TCP.
//!
//! # Two round trips
//!
//! The WebSocket transport times its own ping frame underneath everything
//! plaza does. The probe here is a `Kind::Ping`
//! frame riding the full path: encoded, queued, impaired, decoded. Comparing
//! the two says what plaza and the configured link cost this connection, and
//! on TCP, which has no ping frame of its own, this is the only round trip
//! there is.
//!
//! # Who pings whom
//!
//! On a server only the session originates probes; on a client only the
//! application does. So every `Pong` a side receives answers a `Ping` it sent,
//! and the echoed origin alone matches a `Pong` to its `Ping`.
//!
//! Several must be outstanding at once. A probe is answered a round trip after
//! it leaves and another goes out every 125ms in the fast phase, so on any link
//! slower than that the reply lands after its successor was sent. Tracking one
//! at a time would discard every such sample, so a link slower than 125ms
//! would never be measured.
