Polling

This transport mechanism is primarily described in the RPDE specification.

The basic REST endpoint which accepts the from and after parameters is required to allow a full cache refresh / data download on demand (e.g. /getSessions?afterTimestamp=Date(b)&afterId={d97f73fb}).

For cases where only a polling endpoint is available, the client will poll the endpoint using heuristic backoff in the case of no new changes.

Implementation of at least one other type of endpoint is recommended in order to enable real-time updates.
