I don't have the IBM TCP/IP package, but the TCP/IP toolkit from Novell
works the same way. Although stream sockets give reliable delivery, there
is no way to be sure that all the data will arrive at the same time. It
is therefore the applications responsibility to recv() until all the data
is read. Keep a count of bytes read or use select() to determine if more
data is available.
