Re: [Boost-users] Delimiting protocol messages (was [asio] read_some() splits data)

As I raised this question I thought that TCP itself has the ability to determin the message size - but it does not (I previously widely used ENet (secure data transmission based on UDP) - may be that's why I was misleaded). Important usage "application protocol" build upon "message size prefix" protocol (if such a small thing can be called "protocol") could be the C++ objects' serialization using the boost::serialization, so the whole picture of protocol stack would looks like this: Ethernet -> IP -> TCP -> "message size prefix" -> "boost::serialization"
