Endpoints in WCF
WCF Service is a program that exposes a collection of Endpoints. Each Endpoint is a portal for communicating with the world. End point consists of three components.
1) Address :
   Defines where a service is located
   ex - http://www.test.com:8001/MyService
2) Bindings :
   A binding that specifies how a client can communicate with the endpoint.
   ex - BasicHttpBinding,WSHttpBinding,WSDualHttpBinding etc
3) Contracts :
   A contract that identifies the operations available

Endpoints will be mentioned in the web.config file on the created service.
