WebSocket Communication Diagram

This diagram illustrates the fundamental communication flow of the WebSocket protocol. It begins with the initial HTTP Handshake, where a client sends an upgrade request to a server, which then responds to establish the WebSocket connection. Once established, the diagram clearly shows the subsequent full-duplex communication, enabling continuous, bidirectional data exchange between the client and server through WebSocket data frames. It highlights the key stages from connection initiation to ongoing real-time data transmission.
