Tools to measure websocket performance

Hosting with Azure, an Ubuntu 12.04 instance running node.js and socket.io. What tools or methods are available to me for measuring websocket performance. In particular, I am most interested in understanding the maximum number of connections I can reasonably support.

There is a command line tool of Open Source named tcpkali on GitHub, please see https://github.com/machinezone/tcpkali.

You can enable the websocket option via --ws or --websocket, then specify the connection number and the interval time of sending messages for it, and send stats to StatsD or DataDog to help analysising performance.
