If you are using TCP, then you could get all 1800 bytes in a single call, or it may need multiple calls to read(). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
