What's the difference between net.tcp and net.net?


Asked by Cruz Cruz on Dec 14, 2021 vb.net



net.tcp is simply the URI scheme used within Windows to identify endpoints that can be accessed using TCP.
Also,
TCP vs. IP. Transmission Control Protocol (also known as TCP) is a core protocol of the Internet Protocol Suite. It operates at a higher level than its compatriot, Internet Protocol (also known as IP). The two main concerns of TCP are the two end systems – a web browser and a web server, for example.
Keeping this in consideration, So, essentially net.tcp is a WCF binding ('A secure, reliable binding suitable for cross-machine communication.'). So, net.tcp can only be used in the WCF context, and is simply based on the TCP protocol.
In fact,
If you want to host many WCF Services on one machine and want them to use shared memory for their communication, use a named pipe=>net.pipe, and then use tcp for the communication to WCF Services on different machines.
Likewise,
NET is a software framework or infrastructure which Microsoft developed. ASP.NET, on the other hand, is a web application that is used to build various applications. This is the basic difference between ASP.NET vs.NET. To know more about the difference between ASP.NET vs.NET, let us see the below points.
