Does WCF use TCP and not UDP as one of it's transport mechanisms because UDP is not guaranteed?

Reading about WCP (woof, what a monster of a subject), and just into the earlier stages of what transports are available. I note that TCP is available, but not UDP. Is this because UDP is not always reliable...lossy with packets ?

Thanks,

Scott

No official reason for that. Who knows may be we will have netUDPBinding in coming releases. But most probably they gave priority to TCP as it is reliable.

I would certainly think so. UDP is useful for streaming video or audio, not for reliable messaging.
