I am currently working in socket based technology where my client(C++) and Server(.Net) uses
socket based communication to send and receive data,but now I am looking to replace my existing socket server with WCF. I want to clarify it completely before doing any such movement

1) Is it possible to replace existing socket and if yes how can I do this.
2) Server socket application listen at defined IP/Port and client socket application send request to that IP/Port only, but in case of WCF there is complete URI i.e. with IP/Port it also contains name of WCF Service, so how to do this.
3) Which type of binding configuration I need to use for it and if it is basic or wshttp can’t it will effect performance of my application drastically.

    When we use socket programming we do it at very low level and neither wcf, web service or remoting can perform good as compare to socket application. WCF provides so many feature but all this features are based on binding configuration and all this are at very high level as compare to socket application, so as far as performance is concern socket application will perform well as compare to wcf and if this are already build no need to replace it.
