The NetPeerTcpBinding provides a secure binding for peer-to-peer environments and network applications. It uses the TCP protocol and provides full support for SOAP security, transactions, and reliability.
NetPeerTcpBinding Properties
The following table is a list of attributes, and their descriptions, that are available to be used with the NetPeerTcpBinding.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| closeTimeout | A time interval value, which must be greater than zero, that specifies the amount of time for a close operation to complete. The default value is 1 minute (00:01:00). |
| listenIPAddress | A string value that specifies the IP address on which the peer node will listen for TCP messages. The default is NULL. |
| maxBufferPoolSize | Specifies the maximum buffer size for a buffer pool, which stores messages processed by the binding. This is an integer value with a default of 512*1024, or 524388. |
| maxReceivedMessageSize | Specifies the maximum size of a message, including headers. The number is specified in bytes with a default value of 65536. If a message is larger than the value specified, the sender receives a SOAP fault message and the receiver drops the message and creates an event in the trace log. |
| Name | A unique string value that contains the configuration name of the binding. |
| openTimeout | A time interval value that specifies the amount of time a message has to complete. Value should be greater than zero. Default is 1 minute (00:01:00). |
| port | An integer value that specifies the network port on which this binding will process peer TCP messages. The default value is 0. |
| recieveTimeout | A time interval value that specifies the amount of time a receive operation has to complete. Value should be greater than zero. Default is 1 minute (00:01:00). |
| sendTimeout | A time interval value that specifies the amount of time a send operation has to complete. Value should be greater than zero. Default is 1 minute (00:01:00). |
The following example illustrates some of the properties being configured in a configuration file:
<system.serviceModel> <bindings> <netpeertcpBinding> <binding name = “netpeertcpbind” listenipaddress = “192.168.10.150” port = “80” openTimeout = “00:00:30” closeTimeout = “00:00:30”> </binding> </netpeertcpBinding> </bindings> </system.ServiceModel>
The same can be done through code, as illustrated here:
NetPeerTcpBinding nptcpb = new NetPeerTcpBinding(); nptcpb.ListenIPAddress = “192.168.10.150”; nptcpb.Port = 80; nptcpb.OpenTimeout = 30000; nptcpb.CloseTimeout = 30000;
