Features

• Supports 0.7...0.9.16 (netty-socketio 1.6.6) and 1.0+ (netty-socketio latest version) version of Socket.IO-client
• Supports xhr-polling transport
• Supports websocket transport
• Supports namespaces and rooms
• Supports ack (acknowledgment of received data)
• Supports SSL
• Supports client store (Memory, Redisson, Hazelcast)
• Supports distributed broadcast across netty-socketio nodes (Redisson, Hazelcast)
• Supports OSGi
• Supports Spring
• Lock-free and thread-safe implementation
• Declarative handler configuration via annotations

Performance

Customer feedback in 2012:
CentOS, 1 CPU, 4GB RAM runned on VM: CPU 10%, Memory 15%
6000 xhr-long polling sessions or 15000 websockets sessions
4000 messages per second

Customer feedback in 2014:
"To stress test the solution we run 30 000 simultaneous websocket clients and managed to peak at total of about 140 000 messages per second with less than 1 second average delay." (c) Viktor Endersz - Kambi Sports Solutions
