ServicePointManager.UseNagleAlgorithm Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Net

Assembly:

System.Net.ServicePoint.dll

Source:

ServicePointManager.cs

Determines whether the Nagle algorithm is used by the service points managed by this ServicePointManager object.

public:
 static property bool UseNagleAlgorithm { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public static bool UseNagleAlgorithm { get; set; }

static member UseNagleAlgorithm : bool with get, set

Public Shared Property UseNagleAlgorithm As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true to use the Nagle algorithm; otherwise, false. The default value is true.

Examples

The following code example sets this property.

ServicePointManager::UseNagleAlgorithm = true;
ServicePointManager::Expect100Continue = true;
ServicePointManager::CheckCertificateRevocationList = true;
ServicePointManager::DefaultConnectionLimit = ServicePointManager::DefaultPersistentConnectionLimit;

ServicePointManager.UseNagleAlgorithm = true;
ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
ServicePointManager.CheckCertificateRevocationList = true;
ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = ServicePointManager.DefaultPersistentConnectionLimit;

ServicePointManager.UseNagleAlgorithm = True
ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = True
ServicePointManager.CheckCertificateRevocationList = True
ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = _
    ServicePointManager.DefaultPersistentConnectionLimit

Remarks

The Nagle algorithm is used to reduce network traffic by buffering small packets of data and transmitting them as a single packet. This process is also referred to as "nagling"; it is widely used because it reduces the number of packets transmitted and lowers the overhead per packet.

Changing the value of this property does not affect existing ServicePoint objects. Only new service points created after the change are affected.

The Nagle algorithm is fully described in IETF RFC 896.
