Any problems using standard C# sockets & threads?

Unity Engine

I’ve got a client who wants a network API to stream position data from the simulator we’re building. While I’ve done network programming before outside of Unity, and some UDP-based networking (based on a third-party library) within Unity, I’ve never done TCP sockets within Unity.

So: would something like this, using standard .NET sockets and threads (System.Net.Sockets and System.Threading), work in Unity? Or is there some reason to expect trouble?

Also, if you have another approach you would suggest for streaming data (to a client written in something completely different, not a Unity app), I’m all ears.

Thanks,

With the exception of WebGL, yes
