Remarks

Currently the following options are supported:

Option	Description
ServerHost	The hostname or the ip address of where the ServerAPI is running
ServerPort	The port number of the ServerAPI process
MaxSendCacheSize	Maximum number of bytes that will be cached by the Session before requests will fail.
MaxEventQueueSize	The maximum number of events that can be buffered by the Session. The value of MaxEventQueueSize must be greater than zero.
MaxPendingRequests	The maximum number of requests that can be pending
AllowMultipleCorrelatorsPerMsg	If a message is to be delivered for multiple correlators then deliver one message with all correlators folded into that one message
SlowConsumerWarningHiWaterMark	Set the fraction of 'MaxEventQueueSize' at which "slow consumer" events will be generated. A warning event will be generated when the number of outstanding undelivered events passes above 'SlowConsumerWarningHiWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize'. The following is applicable 0.0 < slowConsumerWarningHiWaterMark <= 1.0. Further, at the time that Session.Start() is called, it must be the case that 'SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize' < 'SlowConsumerWarningHiWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize'.
SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMark	Set the fraction of 'MaxEventQueueSize' at which "slow consumer cleared" events will be generated. A warning cleared event will be generated when the number of outstanding undelivered events drops below 'SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize'. The following is applicable 0.0 <= SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMark < 1.0. Further, at the time that Session.Start() is called, it must be the case that 'SlowConsumerWarningLoWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize' < 'SlowConsumerWarningHiWaterMark * MaxEventQueueSize'.
DefaultSubscriptionService	The name of the service to be used by default for subscriptions.
DefaultTopicPrefix	The name of the topic prefix to be used for subscriptions if one is not provided.
ConnectTimeout	Timeout in milliseconds for session to establish a connection
ClientMode	See SessionOptionsClientModeType.
DefaultKeepAliveInactivityTime	Amount of time in milliseconds without any read activity on the connection before the library will ping the peer (requires compatible server). Also see DefaultKeepAliveResponseTimeout.
DefaultKeepAliveResponseTimeout	Timeout for the ping response in milliseconds. The peer will be declared "dead" if no ping response (or other data) is received within response timeout interval after the ping (requires compatible server). Also see DefaultKeepAliveInactivityTime.
KeepAliveEnabled	Whether all keep-alive mechanisms, both from the client to the server and from the server to the client, should be enabled.
RecordSubscriptionDataReceiveTimes	Should the receipt time (accessed via TimeReceived be recorded for subscription data messages.
TlsOptions	Client credentials and trusted certificates to establish secure connection. By default plaintext connection is used. See TlsOptions.
ServiceCheckTimeout	Timeout, in milliseconds, for checking what version of the schema should be downloaded when opening a new service. The timeout value must be a positive integer. The default timeout is 60,000 milliseconds.
ServiceDownloadTimeout	Timeout, in milliseconds, for downloading the service schema when opening a new service. The timeout value must be a positive integer. The default timeout is 120,000 milliseconds.
