SMTPThe SMTP Component is used to send Internet mail using the SMTP protocol (the Internet mail standard).
SNPPThe SNPP Component is used to send pages through the internet using the SNPP protocol.
SOAPThe SOAP Component is a generic SOAP client supporting SOAP 1.1 that is used to communicate with SOAP servers.
SysLogThe Syslog component is used to send and receive network system log packets.
TCPClientThe TCPClient Component is a generic Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) stream client based on an asynchronous, event-driven architecture.
TCPServerThe TCPServer Component is a generic Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) server component based on an asynchronous, event-driven architecture. It is designed to balance the load between connections for a fast, powerful server.
TelnetThe Telnet Component is used to communicate with servers implementing the TELNET protocol.
TFTPClientThe TFTPClient component is used to exchange files with TFTP servers via the TFTP protocol defined in RFC 783.
TFTPServerThe TFTPServer Component is used to create a TFTP Server.
