Good. Although I'd be curious to know that 0.0001% now...

Besides that, what happens if a connected socket (client or 
server, blocking or non-blocking doesn't matter) receives a lot 
of data, but the application doesn't read it (or it's not fast 
enough)?

Is it like a serial port that after a while there's a buffer 
overflow (with loss of data)?

Thank you so much. I appreciate your replies.

Stefano.
