Unknown.

Didn't know that there was such a plugin. (Where is it?)
I don't have any experience in sockets. I don't know what's possible or impossible.

I don't use that plugin as I would just write it myself using sockets.
That plugin uses sockets too, so both methods would have similar efficiencies.

Well, that's a waste of time then.

It's way better to use sockets since everyone has that.

I know there are plugins that download crap but I would never use them.

you don't need to create 10 functions. You have the "dummy" param to send information.
