Interface ISocketFactory
Represents a factory of the sockets an app uses, so a platform or a decorator can protect, bind or configure each one, such as to keep it out of a VPN's tunnel.
public interface ISocketFactoryMethods
CreateTcpClient(IPEndPoint, TcpClientOptions?)
Creates a TCP client for an endpoint's address family, not connected yet.
TcpClient CreateTcpClient(IPEndPoint ipEndPoint, TcpClientOptions? options = null)Parameters
ipEndPointIPEndPointThe endpoint the client will connect to; its address family is the client's.
optionsTcpClientOptionsThe client's options, or null for the defaults.
Returns
- TcpClient
The TCP client, which the caller owns and disposes.
CreateUdpClient(AddressFamily)
Creates a UDP client of an address family.
UdpClient CreateUdpClient(AddressFamily addressFamily)Parameters
addressFamilyAddressFamilyThe address family.
Returns
- UdpClient
The UDP client, which the caller owns and disposes.
CreateUdpSocket(AddressFamily)
Creates a UDP socket of an address family, for a worker that manages its own receive buffer.
Socket CreateUdpSocket(AddressFamily addressFamily)Parameters
addressFamilyAddressFamilyThe address family.
Returns
- Socket
The socket, which the caller owns and disposes.
Remarks
A UdpClient keeps a receive buffer of its own, too costly for small-buffer workers such as DNS. The interface's default implementation returns the socket of CreateUdpClient(AddressFamily), so a factory that does not implement it keeps its protection, binding and configuration.
