The next, and final, step to implement our pluggable protocol is to define the request and response behavior for our messages. We'll start by overriding the synchronous GetResponse() method. This method will be responsible for building a byte stream with the appropriate values for our header specification, and submitting over the transport protocol of our choice. For this demo, we'll be using TCP, since we've already seen how to do so in Chapter 11, The Transport Layer – TCP, UDP, and Multicasting.
Always put as much consideration and thought as you can into deciding what transport-layer protocol you'll use to support any custom application layer protocols you may write. The performance and specific use cases ...
