A full discussion of MEPs and Concurrency in WCF is not the intent of this article; as a matter of fact, that would be the job of a full book. As such, this article assumes familiarity (but necessarily experience) of the following:

  • WCF programming
  • MEPs in WCF
  • Concurrency modes in WCF
  • Basic concepts of threads
