Concurrency Mode in WCF

Concurrency Mode in WCF

Concurrency is used to control number of threads active in an InstanceContext at any one time.

The following three concurrency modes are available:

Single: Each instance context is allowed to have a maximum of one thread processing messages in the instance context at a time. Other threads wishing to use the same instance context must block until the original thread exits the instance context.

Multiple: Each service instance can have multiple threads processing messages concurrently. The service implementation must be thread-safe to use this concurrency mode.

Reentrant: Each service instance processes one message at a time, but accepts re-entrant operation calls. The service only accepts these calls when it is calling out through a WCF client object.
