Looking for a specific type of tcp server

I'm looking for a c# tpc server, or a tcp server that has c# interface, that supports authe开发者_如何学编程ntication from client to server, maybe via username/passwords or certificates, supports ssl/tls for transport and generally supports incoming channel to forward messages to server and outgoing command channel to send commands to event forwarder, like change this, and perhaps works on Mono as well as Windows, and is performant, i.e. can support multiple (dozens to hundreds of clients), as well as Windows IOCP.

I did look at WCF, but it's too vast/heavy for my requirements.

Thanks. regards

Bob.

IIS seems like the obvious choice.

Found the following which can be called from c#. Its a high performance Windows IOCP based TCP Server.
