Ninja WebSockets sample with System.IO.Pipelines and Protobuf ReadOnlySequenceReader

This is a sample written using Ninja WebSocket library that allows you to make WebSocket connections as a client or to respond to WebSocket requests as a server.

How to execute the example?

Command line Options

Ninja.WebSockets.DemoServer.exe [pipe|pb|load] [MessageSize] WebSockets.DemoClient.exe uri numThreads numItemsPerThread minNumBytesPerMessage maxNumBytesPerMessage

Example Test with System.IO.Pipelines

Ninja.WebSockets.DemoServer.exe pipe 1024 WebSockets.DemoClient.exe ws://localhost:27416/echo 5 1000 1024 1024

Example Test with Streams

Ninja.WebSockets.DemoServer.exe 1024 WebSockets.DemoClient.exe ws://localhost:27416/echo 5 1000 1024 1024

Example Load Test

Ninja.WebSockets.DemoServer.exe load WebSockets.DemoClient.exe load

Observations - Performance Readings

Message Size	Time takesn in Stream (ms)	Time takesn in Pipeline (ms)
32	22	23
128	26	26
512	23	26
1024	26	29
2048	25	28
4096	26	27

Time is in milliseconds - Time taken for sending test bytes (created as per the inputted maxNumberOfBytesPerMessage) to the server 100 times and receiving them back.

Here I could see Stream performed better in comparison to Pipelines when we have ProtoBuf deserialization also in place in the server.
