Any WebSocket server framework on ASP.Net Core?

Is there any high-level framework for WebSocket server in ASP.Net Core apps?

I saw the basic websocket support via Microsoft.AspNetCore.WebSockets.Server nuget described on the net and SO questions. Is there something more high-level? SignalR would be a great example, but it's planned for 2017. Is there something available right now?

SignalW

Efficient, has Hub and groups just like SignalIR does, and most importantly it does not force you to use a particular message format or JSON. You can adapt any protocol you like, and I use it for JSON-RPC

Websocket-Manager

A decent implementation. It's very well documented and there is a blogpost explaining how to re-create it yourself. The disadvantage is that it forces you to use JSON and a spesific message format, which is not ideal if you have other clients that aren't .Net

Websocket-sharp

This a server that does not rely on ASP.NET Core, it is just a websocket server and that's it - no REST, serving files, etc. This can be important if you are looking to add websocket connectivity to an application that has nothing to do with being a webserver, like a game. Starcraft uses websockets and protobuff for bot and AI development. This does work with unity. There is currently a discussion about .Net Core compatiability, but I believe it's not quite done yet.
