RSK Network Stats | Backend

This component exposes a websockets interface to receive and aggregate information from RSK network nodes. Information is then provided through a websockets service and used by the RSK Network Stats frontend component. This component outputs all the data through vue interace.

There is also an angular front end interface in this code that works but is currently not being used to output information.

Note. Information received from network nodes is provided by a service called stats agent which is responsible for interacting with an RSK node via web3 to extract relevant information.
