Can two separate writeData to arrive at the receiver end as a single piece of data?

[AL1]

I encountered a situation where two separate writeData arrived at the
receiver as a single piece of data. I needed them to be arrived
separately.

For example: (data1 is very small when compared to data2)

1st write:

[data1 appendData:[GCDAsyncSocket CRLFData]];
[tcpSocket writeData:data withTimeout:-1.0 tag:0];

2nd write:

[tcpSocket writeData:data2 withTimeout:-1.0 tag:0];

It works fine for the first occurrence of sequence above (1st and
2nd). But if I repeated the sequence continuously, I noticed that
data1 and data2 arrived at the receiver end as a single piece of
data. It only happens if the file size is larger than 8 or 9MB. And
it happened immediately right after the first successful of the
sequence above.

(if data2 above is less than 8MB, then it worked fine continuously.)

Problem solved: I overlooked that the writeData is an asynchronous
operation!

Is it possible to have the Socket Server make a broadcast to all clients via Bonjour or must the client initiate the call to the Server?

How would you do this, if possible?

Also keep in mind that TCP is a stream:

Good writing. I revisited it couple times!
