Hello,
I'm not Nathan, but I'd like to offer my opinion (below):

Are the things you are seeing just normal activity with any TCP/IP
socket connection? There has to be something going on at that low
level with any permanent connection to maintain the connection

detail.
The details he described in his message sound EXACTLY like keep-alives
in a TCP connection. In other words.. I agree with you, Kevin, what
he's seeing is normal TCP data, a part of the TCP protocol that nearly
all communications on the Internet are built upon.
I completely agree with your assessment (not quoted for brevity).
Polling is not an efficient substitute for a server having the ability
to push data to the client... A persistent technology like Websockets
is going to be much more efficient.
I do think it's important to limit the use of technology like websockets
to situations where a server-to-client push is required, and not to use
them for other things (i.e. they are not a replacement for AJAX!)
But... in the right circumstances, websockets are an exciting
technology!
