Book about tcp, http, named pipe, shared memory, wcf and other inter-process communication protocol
- by Samuel
Recently, I had to create a program to send messages between two winforms executable. I used a tool with simple built-in functionalities to prevent having to figure out all the ins and outs of this vast quantity of protocols that exist.
But now, I'm ready to learn more about the internals difference between each of theses protocols. I googled a couple of them but it would be greatly appreciate to have a good reference book that gives me a clean idea of how each protocol works and what are the pros and cons in a couple of context.
Here is a list of nice protocols that I found:
Shared memory
TCP
List item
Named Pipe
File Mapping
Mailslots
MSMQ (Microsoft Queue Solution)
WCF
I know that all of these protocols are not specific to a language, it would be nice if example could be in .net.
Thank you very much.
