MSMQ, Web Service and .NET Remoting performance tests

Passing messages between systems is a common requirement in business applications, and considerations often include many transport methods: pure TCP/IP, Web Services, .NET Remoting, MSMQ, and so forth.

Previously, it has been difficult to compare these different methods precisely, one has just had to rely on investigation of the inner workings of these systems. Performance tests have been rare and usually quite limited.

Now, MSDN has two articles regarding message passing performance, one for Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ), and another for ASP.NET Web Services, Enterprise Services and .NET Remoting.

I find these articles a very good performance test. I'm sure you will, too.
