But what is the problem ?

Yes that is normal. Winsock will send it's buffer when it is full or
a certain amount of time has elapsed.

Don't think so. But why would you? You have to program the receiving
side in such a way that it can handle multiple 'packets' in one read event.
Just as the receiving side should concatenate read-events until
a complete (big) message is received.

FYI: it is confusing that you use the word packet for the message
that you send. TCP/IP uses packets already.
