You're right, it is higher level than engine.io - engine.io is actually a dependency (that's what I meant by 'based on'). SocketCluster is fairly high-level as far as WebSocket libraries go. The engine.io dependency is not obvious on npm; SocketCluster depends on a lower-level module called socketcluster-server which itself depends on engine.io.
