Service Throttling in WCF Services – A Demo of Service Concurrency and Instance Throttling Behaviors with Multi-threading Clients: This project presents a simple Demo WCF Service and “Tester” Client Application demonstration that implements concurrency and instancing behaviors on a service with multiple client thread calls to a method on the service. The project also demos throttling service behaviors that are in the service configuration settings. Service throttling limits the client calls that could otherwise drain or slow down its service to other clients if too many are calling simultaneously. The Demo Service is a standard template WCF service application hosted by the development IIS. The service features one simple method… a test method that simulates a long running process (it sleeps for 5 seconds). The client “tester” is a simple console application that creates multiple threads that access the service and report back on the results. The objective of this project was not to demo setup and hosting of a service, nor the client interface, but retrieve and display results of service behaviors with respect to multi-threaded access. Discussion regarding the hosting and setup of the simple IIS hosted service application will be skipped in this project article.
