Wcf - 3 retries before exception?

Question

I was asked to build a mechanism for 3 retries before generating a request exception.

We have this topology :

enter image description here

Service1 calls Service2.

If 3 times in a row has failed - generate an excpetion.

Is there any retry mechanism in WCF ?

The WCF technology addressing this is Reliable Messaging. I think MaxRetryCount is the attribute you are looking for.

Here is an example with a custom binding using MaxRetryCount.
