Members
Member Name Description Dgram Supports datagrams, which are connectionless, unreliable messages of a fixed (typically small) maximum length. Uses the User Datagram Protocol (ProtocolType.Udp ) protocol and the AddressFamily.InterNetwork address family. Raw Supports access to the underlying transport protocol. Can communicate through protocols other than ProtocolType.Tcp and ProtocolType.Udp, such as Internet Control Message Protocol (ProtocolType.Icmp) and Internet Group Management Protocol (ProtocolType.Igmp). Rdm Supports message-oriented, reliably delivered messages, and preserves message boundaries in data. Seqpacket Supports message-oriented, sequenced packets.
