ServiceThrottle Class

Definition

Controls the throughput of a service to optimize availability and performance.

Examples

The following code example shows the typical use of the ServiceThrottle by referencing the ServiceThrottlingBehavior in an application configuration file. In this case, the values that are specified establish, at most, one message processing at one time from one connection to one InstanceContext. Real-world usage must be determined through experience.

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- use appSetting to configure base address provided by host -->
    <add key="baseAddress" value="http://localhost:8080/ServiceMetadata" />
  </appSettings>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service 
        name="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.SampleService"
        behaviorConfiguration="Throttled" >
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://localhost:8080/SampleService"/>
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
        <endpoint
          address=""
          binding="wsHttpBinding"
          contract="Microsoft.WCF.Documentation.ISampleService"
         />
        <endpoint
          address="mex"
          binding="mexHttpBinding"
          contract="IMetadataExchange"
         />
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior  name="Throttled">
          <serviceThrottling 
            maxConcurrentCalls="1" 
            maxConcurrentSessions="1" 
            maxConcurrentInstances="1"
          />
          <serviceMetadata 
            httpGetEnabled="true" 
            httpGetUrl=""
          />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Remarks

Use the ServiceThrottle to tune the performance characteristics of a service. The easiest way to configure the ServiceThrottle for a service is to use the ServiceThrottlingBehavior, especially from an application configuration file.

The MaxConcurrentCalls property specifies the maximum number of messages actively processing across all the dispatcher objects in a ServiceHost object.

The MaxConcurrentInstances property specifies the maximum number of InstanceContext objects in the service.

The MaxConcurrentSessions property specifies the maximum number of sessions a ServiceHost can accept.

Note

A trace is written when the first call, InstanceContext, or session is queued on the waitlist. The first trace is written as a warning.

Properties
