WebTransport would be the best, as there is browser support, and QUIC does most of the hard lifting
Hi, All.
I recently developed a WebSocket server.
I plan to embed this WebSocket server into a future Nostr relay that I will develop, with enhanced documentation, comments, and testing.

By the way, there's something I've been thinking about lately.
Nostr runs on top of WebSockets, And WebSockets run on top of TCP/IP.
In the case of TCP/IP, data cannot be received in bulk using a system call, so we believe there is a problem in that it is difficult to improve performance beyond a certain level.
I believe that if Nostr were run over a UDP protocol such as WebTransport, RUDP, etc..., Nostr relay could operate even faster.
For a plain Nostr relay delivering text events, probably won't need to go this far.
However, I think this Nostr relay can be useful for delivering volatile, streaming, real-time data.
In the future, I plan to create a PoC that runs Nostr on the UDP protocol.
What do you think?
Comments, positive or negative, are welcome.
