<behavior> of <serviceBehaviors>
The behavior element contains a collection of settings for the behavior of a service. Each behavior is indexed by its name. Services can link to each behavior through this name using the behaviorConfigurationattribute of the <endpoint> element element. This allows endpoints to share common behavior configurations without redefining the settings.
