TCP vs Websocket performance and bandwith usage #390

Feature Proposed Comparison between TCP & Websocket in performance and bandwidth usage

Use Case i used rathole for a middle tunnel for v2ray vpn service for a short period of time. my problem is bandwidth usage is not 1:1 for sending and receiving. sending is about 20% more than receive! as i am paying for bandwidth this is really my concern.

i am using gost ssh for tunneling, and usage is 1:1

so i was wondering is any enhancement i can do to bring usage close to 1:1 ? what if i use websocket? does it use less traffic?

thanks in advance.

Infact ,using websocket may take more bandwidth
