Answer / pradeeprajasekharan
Windows Process Activation Server (WAS) is a new server
available with Vista and Windows Server 2008. The new server
is capable of deploying WCF applications which is driven
through different communication protocols such as TCP, Named
Pipes, MSMQ etc together with HTTP. IIS can host WCF
services that communicates only using HTTP while WAS
supports all of the above given protocols. So for an
application that communicates internally using TCP can be
deployed in HTTP by adding a few changes in the
configuration. So the same applicaiton communicates with TCP
and HTTP under a host.

1) It Supports all type of transmission modes e.g
http, tcp, namedpipe
2) Windows services are managed by service control manager
so these are controlled by o.s beacause after hosting
they behave like windows services.
3) the life time of WAS will be the life time of windows
services i.e from start of machine to shutdown.
