Do HTML WebSockets maintain an open connection for each client? Does this scale?

Question

I am curious if anyone has any information about the scalability of HTML WebSockets. For everything I\'ve read it appears that every client will maintain an open line of com

Answer 1

No it does not scale, gives tremendous work to intermediate routes switches. Then on the server side the page faults (you have to keep all those descriptors) are reaching high values, and the time to bring a resource into the work area increases. These are mostly JAVA written servers and it might be faster to hold on those gazilions of sockets then to destroy/create one. When you run such a server on a machine any other process can't move anymore.
