Sent by the client after StatusResponse to measure latency. time is an arbitrary client timestamp. The server must echo the same value back in PongResponse, after which the connection is closed.

Sent by the client, read by the server. Listen for it with client.on("PingRequest", (data) => …) on the receiving side.
