| Thanks Devid !
But if we cant control the packet size..............than ahat is the
meaning/significance of frame size of 64,512,4096 bytes.
How do they make sense for application developer..............as i m
having control over application buffer only...............but the
actual transmission is through..send/receive socket calls, where kernal
makes decesion what packet size to be sent.

I'm not sure what you mean. What is a "frame size"?

I still don't understand your question. You make send calls, and the
data comes out in receive calls. You are guaranteed that the other end will
get the same bytes in the same order but not in the same chunk size. That's
the nature of TCP, and if that's not what you want, don't use TCP.
