Name

ServicePoint

Synopsis

This class is used by ServicePointManager to manage connections to remote hosts. The .NET Framework reuses service points for all requests to a given URI. The lifetime of a given ServicePoint is governed by its MaxIdleTime property.

The ServicePoint class is a high-level abstraction of the underlying implementation. Details of the implementation, such as the sockets used for HTTP transport, are not publicly exposed.
