Technical Summary
The WebSocket protocol enables two-way real-time communication
between clients and servers in situations where direct access to TCP
and UDP are not available (for example, from within Javascript in a
web browser). This document specifies a new WebSocket sub-protocol
as a reliable transport mechanism between MSRP (Message Session Relay
Protocol) clients and relays to enable usage of MSRP in new
scenarios. This document normatively updates RFC 4975 and RFC 4976.
