Creating Chrome Plugin to communicate via TCP/IP

We have a web application running in Chrome browser. We need it to connect it via TCP/IP to a network connected device, which would be normally impossible. Our only chance is implementing a Chrome Extension which would be able to create such requests – would this be even possible?

I studied this:

https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/devguide

But I couldn't find any information about accessing hardware from Chrome Extensions. Is there a way to do it?

If your server acceps TCP socket connections you can use a web app communication over WebSockets, there is support for it in all major browsers today.

You need to be aware that WebSockets is not a raw TCP socket connection, and uses it's own protocoll on top of raw sockets, but it might be your best bet in connecting to your server without any browser plugins.
