Hi Daniel,
Some of the Network application use two connections. One connection for control channel to send commands and status update. Other connection is used for real data transfer. For example: FTP. However this needs two socket.
TCP talks about out-of-band data transfer using Urgent Pointer flag and Urgent pointer offset in the tcp header. However the data transfer uses the same connection.
