For sockets that depends on whether you are dealing with SOCK_DGRAM or
SOCK_STREAM. For dgram you can only peek into a single datagram, while
on stream sockets you can peek into the whole socket buffer (assuming
your are not using urgent data. If you are, then you wont be able to
peek beyond the urgent mark).
