WebSocket in real time application
Abstract
There has been an increase in request for real time data feeds, teleconferencing and group communication which entails full duplex connection amongst client and server. Real time web application involves clients which is also known as a browser getting updates from the server as they happen. with regards to the limit observed in old-style real-time communication which include long polling, polling server-sent events and comets, this paper recommends using upcoming Web Socket technology when dealing with real time. The Web Socket offers improved result as compared to the conventional approaches that are considered to be the good solution of providing real time information and lessens overhead acquired while communicating over the internet and offers stateful, efficient communication among Web Servers and Clients.
