System.Net.ServicePoint.UseNagleAlgorithm Property

Gets or sets a bool value that determines whether the Nagle algorithm is used on connections managed by this System.Net.ServicePoint object.

Syntax

public bool UseNagleAlgorithm { get; set; }

Value

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

The Nagle algorithm is used to buffer small packets of data and transmit them as a single packet. This process, referred to as "nagling," 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 connections. Only new connections created after the change are affected.

The Nagle algorithm is fully described in IETF RFC 896.
