protobuf-net and rpc over tcp

Question

I'm looking for a rpc over tcp implementation that uses protobuf-net (or any other .net implementation of protobuf).

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

protobuf (under any implementation) is not an RPC stack; it is a serialization stack. You can, however, use WCF to provide the RPC, but hook protobuf-net as the serialization layer inside WCF. That do?

I have a bespoke RPC layer using http, but I haven't implemented one for TCP, and I haven't looked at callbacks. WCF provides these built in, so maybe that is worth looking at?
