Matrix currently uses a custom pubsub system for synchronising information
about the list of devices for a given user over federation. When a server
wishes to determine a remote user's device list for the first time,
it should populate its local cache by calling the ``/user/keys/query`` API
it should populate a local cache from the result of a ``/user/keys/query`` API
on the remote server. However, subsequent updates to the cache should be applied
by consuming ``m.device_list_update`` EDUs, which must be sent by the remote server
whenever a user's device list changes.
by consuming ``m.device_list_update`` EDUs. Each new ``m.device_list_update`` EDU
describes an incremental change to one device for a given user which should replace
any existing entry in the local server's cache of that device list. Servers must send
``m.device_list_update`` EDUs to all the servers whose users participate in their rooms,
and must be sent whenever a local user's device list changes (i.e. new or deleted devices,
or changes of identity keys).
Servers send ``m.device_list_update`` EDUs in a sequence per source user, each with
Servers send ``m.device_list_update`` EDUs in a sequence per origin user, each with
a unique ``stream_id``. They also include a pointer to the most recent previous EDU(s)
that this update is relative to in the ``prev_id`` field. To simplify implementation
for clustered servers which could send multiple EDUs at the same time, the ``prev_id``
