[HTTP/2 PING frames](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-6.7) exist to measure the round-trip delay, they're not specific to application-layer delay. QUIC blurs the layers in such a way that I don't think there is an actual difference between application-layer delay and network-layer delay. (Not that the OSI model ever made sense, but that's another conversation...) The combination of QUIC PING and ACK frames allow you to calculate the round-trip delay in a way that's even more accurate because the [ACK frame](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-quic-transport-27#section-19.3) carries  an `ACK Delay` field that allows you to compute on-device delay. Could you clarify what exactly it is that QUIC does not allow to measure today?
