WCF is a general communication framework and the more you use it, the more knobs you find there are to tune (endpoint, security, serialization, etc). I have an application that is sensitive to a number of QoS attributes and I d like to begin tweaking the settings to understand how each impacts bandwidth, latency and scalability of this WCF-based application.
As far as I can see, there is no general entry point to collect the following metrics, but I m hoping we can come up with a list of technique for gathering them:
- Number of calls
- Round trip time of call
- Bandwidth utilization
- Serialized size of requests and responses
FWIW, I don t mind capturing these metrics as long as there are reasonable entry points where I can insert hooks (even if this means diving into specific implementation - e.g. DuplexChannel).
