Receivers leverage network configuration to set connection and transport information.
endpoint: Configures the address for this network connection. For TCP and UDP networks, the address has the form "host:port". The host must be a literal IP address, or a host name that can be resolved to IP addresses. The port must be a literal port number or a service name. If the host is a literal IPv6 address it must be enclosed in square brackets, as in "[2001:db8::1]:80" or "[fe80::1%zone]:80". The zone specifies the scope of the literal IPv6 address as defined in RFC 4007.transport: Known protocols are "tcp", "tcp4" (IPv4-only), "tcp6" (IPv6-only), "udp", "udp4" (IPv4-only), "udp6" (IPv6-only), "ip", "ip4" (IPv4-only), "ip6" (IPv6-only), "unix", "unixgram", "unixpacket" and "npipe" (Windows named pipes, Windows-only).dialer: Dialer configurationtimeout: Dialer timeout is the maximum amount of time a dial will wait for a connect to complete. The default is no timeout.
npipe: Windows named pipe configuration (ignored for all other transport types)security_descriptor: A Security Descriptor Definition Language (SDDL) string applied to the named pipe when a listener is created. When empty, Windows applies its default named pipe DACL, which is roughly equivalent toD:P(A;;GA;;;SY)(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;0x12019b;;;WD)(A;;0x12019b;;;AN)— full control forLocalSystem(SY) andAdministrators(BA), and read plus limited write forEveryone(WD) andAnonymous Logon(AN).
Note that for TCP receivers only the endpoint configuration setting is
required.
