net.pipe vs. net.tcp vs. http Bindings

Question

I'm new to WCF and would like to know the differences/advantages/limitations/etc of each of the following bindings:

net.pipe
net.tcp
http

Supporting scenarios on when to use each binding and other examples would be appreciated.

Answer 1

While not great for providing specific usage examples, here is a link from MSDN which lists all the features for the bindings.

Here is a decent flow chart that can help choosing between them as well.

Here is a good overall article I've used in the past.
