for the propagation process between nodes in the networks, witch application layer protocol they use, HTTP or WebSocket?

And if they use WebSocket, does each node maintain a continuous connection with each of the other nodes?

  • the OP is asking about application level, not infrastructure / TCP/IP layer. Probably a link to the code would help more, to understand how listeners are opened for incoming messages? – pebwindkraft Jul 04 '18 at 14:26
  • Nodes not use HTTP or WebSocket protocol. Nodes connect over TCP/IP and start handshake https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Version_Handshake – bitaps.com Jul 04 '18 at 18:38
