The old system was upnp and soap/xml
- packetlost 2y agooh wow, SOAP/XML is somehow worse. Websocket is a binary protocol, but you're probably slinging HTTP reqs or JSON over it. The downside is the protocol itself is stateful so you have the overhead of doing an HTTP upgrade + managing a stateful TCP connection. Idk why you would use either of those technologies for LAN-only transports, though I could see it being the best option for talking to the mothership. I guess that means it's entirely engineering practice or maturity. That just makes me sad :(
