Ping Timeout Examples?
3.3BRAINROT SCOREping timeout The quit reason shown when a chat server (classically on IRC) stops getting a reply to its keepalive check on a user's connection and drops that user.
Origin:The Undernet IRC quit-message FAQ explains that servers ping users at set intervals and disconnect any client that does not answer with a pong, and the channel then shows a quit message such as "Ping timeout". It lists overloaded clients or servers, an unreliable ISP connection and routing problems among the usual causes. The IRC command list documents the PING and PONG exchange. No dated first use found.
