PingBeacon
Information about a UDP ping beacon that can be used to measure network latency between a player device and an Amazon GameLift Servers hosting location.
Ping beacons provide more accurate latency measurements than ICMP pings because they use UDP, which is the same protocol used by most game servers. For more information on UDP ping beacons, including guidance on how to implement latency measurements and best practices for caching beacon endpoints, refer to UDP ping beacons in the Amazon GameLift Servers Developer Guide.
