PingCommand

The PingCommand primarily provides a robust method for health-checking an off-chain service. In addition, its simplicity makes it an ideal candidate as the first milestone for validating a correctly implemented off-chain service. Upon receipt of a PingCommand the recipient responds with an empty CommandResponseObject completing the exchange. Hence this protocol has no requirements for persistency, so long as the remote service is available and online, it is expected to respond.
