I'm wondering if this is possible and what obstacles I might face.

I have a game that's browser based, and since I can't send UDP packets from a browser, Can I use a plugin that the browser connects to via a web socket, and have that plugin send the UDP messages?

When the plugin receives a UDP packet, it'll then relay it to the browser via the TCP websocket?

Could this work? And can TCP handle tons of messages from the plugin even though it's connecting to 127.0.0.1? At least 64 players in this game. The UDP packets are usually no more than 40 bytes.

There is websockify which acts as a websocket-to-TCP bridge. But I don't know about one which does the same for UDP. – Philipp Feb 10 at 13:42
I'll be using c# to create the udp server/listener and the local wss server. I'm jst curious if this architecture would work. – Taurian Feb 10 at 16:38
