peter,

websocket readme has this:

  4.1. keepalive_mechanism (integer)

  The keep-alive mechanism to use for WebSocket connections.

  Note

  If nathelper is only being used for WebSocket connections then nathelper
  NAT pinging is not required. If nathelper is used for WebSocket
  connections and TCP/TLS aliasing/NAT-traversal then WebSocket
  keep-alives are not required.

based on what you write now, is the above readme text still valid, i.e.,
are nat pings enough to prevent amazon load balancer from timing out
websocket connections or are native websocket pings needed instead?
