Winsock gives you a TCP socket when you pass SOCK_STREAM as the second argument to socket(). TCP can coalesce sends, for efficiency: if you make four quick send() calls to Winsock with 100, 50, 30 and 120 bytes in each, Winsock is likely to pack all these up into a single 300-byte TCP packet when it decides to send them out on the network. (This is called the Nagle algorithm.) Compare UDP. 3.7 – What is UDP? The User Datagram Protocol is an alternative to TCP. Sometimes you see the term “TCP/IP” used to refer to all basic Internet technologies, including UDP, but the proper term is UDP/IP, meaning UDP over IP. Winsock give
