TCP packet - are separate packets collected into one?

[Thomas Tempelmann <tempelmann@gmail.com>]

I've never been clear on this one, and I wonder if someone KNOWS how
this works with REALbasic's sockets:

If I make two separate Write() calls to a socket, will the receiving
side receive two Strings when calling ReadAll in a loop, or might it
get one String containing both packets concatenated?

Or is that actually a property of the TCP transport itself, that it
may choose to collect several small data segments and send them all at
once? Hmm, probably, for optimization reasons.

Meaning I can see a TCP socket only as a stream transport, not as a
packet transport as it is with UDP, right?
