Name

IPEndPoint

Synopsis

This class represents a network endpoint as a combination of IPAddress and an integer port number. The static fields MinPort and MaxPort represent the minimum and maximum acceptable values for Port. These values are operating system-dependent.

This class does not represent an open socket connection, which contains two endpoints (local and remote). To create a socket, use System.Net.Sockets.Socket.
