WebSockets is built on top of TCP, whereas WebTransport is built on top of UDP. This makes WebTransport better suited for handling latency-sensitive applications like multiplayer games.

I'm not the author of the game so not sure exactly what they meant by that, but that game uses Websockets which are built on top of TCP, so developers shouldn't have to deal with dropped packets (and our UDP implementation will ha

Hathora actually supports raw TCP connections in addition to Websockets, and we're very close to shipping raw UDP support as well! For the web, we're deciding between using WebRTC or leapfrogging straight to WebTransport[0]. Eithe

It's close but TCP will retransmit frames rather than packing multiple updates in a single frame. It's common for people to build this kind of retransmission logic on top of UDP (especially for networked games), it's sometime

Exactly, you assign a sequence number to each update, have the client send acks to convey which packets it has received, and the server holds onto and sends each unacked update in the packet to clients (this is an improvement over blindly s
