# pong(_:metadata:)

Send a pong frame on a connection.

```
func pong<Content>(_ content: Content? = nil, @ProtocolMetadataBuilder metadata builder: () -> [NWProtocolMetadata] = {[]}) async throws where Content : DataProtocol
```

## Parameters

`content`

Optional pong data.

`builder`

A builder for specifying metadata about the content to send.

## Discussion

This may be called before the connection is ready, in which case
the send will be enqueued until the connection is ready to send.
