I'm assuming this isn't possible, but wanted to ask in case it is. If I want to provide a status information web page, I want to use WebSockets to push the data from the server to the browser. But my concerns are the effect a large number of browsers will have on the server. Can I broadcast to all clients rather than send discrete messages to each client?

A server can open WebSocket connections with multiple clients—even multiple connections with the same client. It can then message one, some, or all of these clients.
To broadcast an event to all the clients, we can use the io. sockets. emit method. Note − This will emit the event to ALL the connected clients (event the socket that might have fired this event).
By default, a single server can handle 65,536 socket connections just because it's the max number of TCP ports available.
WebSocket is a computer communications protocol, providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection. The WebSocket protocol was standardized by the IETF as RFC 6455 in 2011. The current API specification allowing web applications to use this protocol is known as WebSockets.
WebSockets uses TCP, which is point to point, and provides no broadcast support.
