Riccardo,

If you want to use TCP/IP but make it look like a (reliable) UDP/IP 
protocol at a higher level, one way to do it is to layer a record 
structure on top of TCP that sends size in bytes as a fixed length 
preamble of every message. You read the size, and then loop until you 
have read the correct number of bytes for the entire message.

Another way to do it is by using streams.

Regards,
Bob
