You need to reload the page with the network tab open and filter by type ‘ws’. This will show you a connection being made with a websocket. You can then click on the connection to show the traffic being sent back and forth with the server https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/network-performance/reference#frames
This question is similar to asking the difference between TCP and HTTP. I shall still try to address your question, its natural to get confused between these two terms if you are beginning. Short Answer STOMP is derived on top of WebSockets. STOMP just mentions a few specific ways on how the message frames are … Read more
On today’s systems, handling 1 million concurrent TCP connections is not an issue. I can affirm that based on our own tests (full disclosure: I am the CTO at Lightstreamer). We had to demonstrate several times, to some of our customers, that 1 million connections can be reached on a single box (and not necessarily … Read more
This article may help you along the way: http://drewww.github.io/socket.io-benchmarking/ I wondered the same question, so I ended up writing a small test (using XHR-polling) to see when the connections started to fail (or fall behind). I found (in my case) that the sockets started acting up at around 1400-1800 concurrent connections. This is a short … Read more
WebRTC is designed for high-performance, high quality communication of video, audio and arbitrary data. In other words, for apps exactly like what you describe. WebRTC apps need a service via which they can exchange network and media metadata, a process known as signaling. However, once signaling has taken place, video/audio/data is streamed directly between clients, … Read more
After just getting finished reading RFC 7540, HTTP/2 does obsolete websockets for all use cases except for pushing binary data from the server to a JS webclient. HTTP/2 fully supports binary bidi streaming (read on), but browser JS doesn’t have an API for consuming binary data frames and AFAIK such an API is not planned. … Read more
