IIS uses bindings to redirect traffic to the corresponding web applications. These bindings depend on the listener adapters. The most common listener adapters (also known as “site binding types”) are httphttps, and ftp.

 

You may want to use other listener adapters such as net.tcpnet.pipenet.msmq, and msmq.formatname in some servers. If IIS is configured correctly, you should see all of these adapters in the “Add Site Binding” window:
