Pontifex

A C# networking library providing reliable and unreliable message delivery patterns with acknowledgment support.

Overview

Pontifex is a transport abstraction layer designed to simplify network communication in C# applications. It provides multiple delivery guarantees and communication patterns through a pluggable architecture.

Key Features

  • Multiple Delivery Patterns: Support for acknowledged and unacknowledged message delivery
  • Request-Reply Pattern: Built-in support for request-response communication
  • Transport Abstraction: Pluggable transport implementations via factory pattern
  • Synchronized Handlers: Thread-safe message handling utilities
  • Delivery ID Management: Cyclic delivery ID tracking with wrap-around semantics
  • Endpoint Flexibility: Support for various endpoint types (GUID, Long, String, Typed, Void)
  • Logging & Monitoring: Integrated logging wrappers for AckRaw transports
  • Traffic Control: Built-in mechanisms for delivery control and traffic management

Architecture

The library is organized into several key components:

  • Abstractions: Core interfaces for controls, endpoints, and transports
  • Transports: Transport implementations with acknowledgment support
  • Handlers: Message processing and synchronization utilities
  • Factory: Transport registration and instantiation
  • Utils: Helper utilities including FSM, action queues, and traffic controllers
  • Wrappers: Logging and monitoring capabilities
