So I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "the server might send a few lines in a bunch." The server will only send one line at a time, in that it will call write_async for every line that it sends-- it will never call write_async on more than one line. However, the client might be doing some processing so the server might send a few lines before the client "comes up for air" next. If that's the case then all three lines will end up in the same buffer when the read_async handler is called?
Yes, just because the server program called write 3 distinct times, doesn't mean that this will equate to 3 reads on the client side. The actual number of reads depends on many factors, both software- and hardware-related. Jon
