for the propagation process between nodes in the networks, witch application layer protocol they use, HTTP or WebSocket?

And if they use WebSocket, does each node maintain a continuous connection with each of the other nodes?

the OP is asking about application level, not infrastructure / TCP/IP layer. Probably a link to the code would help more, to understand how listeners are opened for incoming messages? – pebwindkraft – 2018-07-04T14:26:37.647

Nodes not use HTTP or WebSocket protocol. Nodes connect over TCP/IP and start handshake https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Version_Handshake
