Should Whisper go through redis?

[jdavidbakr]

I have a chat that I'm using Laravel Echo for, and am taking advantage of the Whisper function to notify when a user is typing. I monitored the redis traffic and noticed that the Whisper is not being sent through redis, which I assume means that it is just being relayed via the socket.io client. My problem is that if I deploy this into a scaling load balancer environment and two users are connected to different servers, they will see each others' chats (because Redis should publish through to both servers) but they won't see each others' whispers. Is this by design, or should the whisper functionality publish through the redis queue?

We are also facing the Issue with Whisper on Loadbalancer, It is not taking from Redis.

Please support us, how we need to go further usage of Whisper method on Load Balancers.

Thanks
