Ping collision?

[drHuangMHT]

In ping protocol one peer sends a ping and expects a pong from the other peer, but what if both peers send a ping at the same time? Will the expected pong be ping from the other peer and trigger a mismatch?

Pings are send in separate streams in isolation of each other, thus there is no mismatch.

Thanks for the instant reply! I'm just getting started on libp2p, not very clear about what happens behind the scenes. So may you recommend some sources to learn from?
