socketasynceventargs

Is there a valid reason to not use TcpListener for implementing a high performance/high throughput TCP server instead of SocketAsyncEventArgs ? I've already implemented this high performance/high throughput TCP server using SocketAsyncEventArgs went through all sort of headaches to handling those pinned buffers using a big pre-allocated byte array and pools of SocketAsyncEventArgs for accepting and receiving, putting together using some low level stuff and shiny smart code with some TPL Data Flow and some Rx and it works perfectly; almost text book in this endeavor - actually I've learnt more

I am trying to understand the 'SocketAsyncEventArgs' class in C#. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.socketasynceventargs.aspx I am following this tutorial: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/83102/C-SocketAsyncEventArgs-High-Performance-Socket-Cod Now I am stuck into how I exactly should process data with my server. What I am trying to do is use a SocketAsyncEventArgs for a connected client with an allocated Buffer space of 512 bytes in the BufferManager. Then what I want to do is to decode the byte[] data into my own custom class (ClientPacket) which holds the byte[]
