        return new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(uri.Host), uri.Port < 0 ? 0 : uri.Port);
    if (Uri.TryCreate(String.Concat("tcp://", text), UriKind.Absolute, out uri))
        return new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(uri.Host), uri.Port < 0 ? 0 : uri.Port);
    if (Uri.TryCreate(String.Concat("tcp://", String.Concat("[", text, "]")), UriKind.Absolute, out uri))
        return new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(uri.Host), uri.Port < 0 ? 0 : uri.Port);
    throw new FormatException("Failed to parse text to IPEndPoint");
}
