Do you mean that when the call
socket.getOutputStream().write(myBufferOf1000Bytes) returns, it does
not mean
that all 1000 bytes has been transmitted via TCP/IP to receiver?
What does it mean then? That the 1000 bytes are in TCP/IP stack's buffer?
Yes, I think so.

Thanks. The post is not so clear.
I am surprised it is stated that TCP does not guarantee that message is
received. It does so. It guarantees packet delivery and packet order.
I guess they meant that with sockets, reception at TCP/IP level does not imply
consumption of the buffer by the receiving program.
