Hi Michael,

Thanks for responding. So if an application employs multiple streams
(for multiple data objects),would it just have to know if a piece of
data belongs to a certain object (so that a consistent stream is used
for an object) before the send?. Thanks alot again.

Yinghan

P.S. From what I understand, the chunk length is encoded as part of
the packet, but the packet length is dependent on the MTU size. So the
packet length implicitly obtained from teh MTU?
