WebSocket with scalability

[Benoit Perroud]

In the scenario of scaling websocket, using any software proxy won't
scale to more than 64'000 connections, which is the number of port
(ipv4) the proxy can open to forward incoming connection to processing
nodes.

If this limitation is ok for you, then in order HAProxy, nginx or
apache will do the job.

Another idea is described here
(http://serverfault.com/questions/268597/what-is-a-typical-method-to-scale-out-a-software-load-balancer/289322#289322)
and rely on a firewall configuration to balance incoming connections
directly to the processing nodes, without intermediate proxy.
