While this is correct, it's not a good suggestion in this thread: the remote 
host is free to combine multiple rx packets into one 'read' call, so even if tx 
is framed as written, it may or may not work on the remote side.

An I say it's even dangerous to rely on this as it might work until segments 
are dropped. You think the system is working, but in fact, it might break on 
first packet loss.

Instead, so the right think and create your application layer protocol so that 
it can handle a byte stream, not rely on packets.
