Hi Daniel,

Some of the Network application use two connections. One connection for
control channel to send commands and status update. Other connection is
used for real data transfer. For example: FTP. However this needs two
socket.

TCP talks about out-of-band data transfer using Urgent Pointer flag and
Urgent pointer offset in the tcp header. However the data transfer uses the
same connection.
