      <service name = "MyService">

         <endpoint

            address  = "net.tcp://localhost:8888/MyService"

            binding  = "netTcpBinding"

            bindingConfiguration = "ReliableCommunication" 

            contract = "IMyContract"

         />

      </service>

   </services>

   <bindings>

      <netTcpBinding>

         <binding name = "ReliableCommunication">

            <reliableSession enabled = "true"/> 

         </binding>

      </netTcpBinding>
