   To expand on what Barry is saying, all you "know" has happened when a   
   send() call completes is that the data is now in the hands of TCP on   
   the side where the send() calls were made.  You know virtually nothing   
   about whether it has actually been sent out onto the network nor if it   
   has been received by the remote.  Sending data across a network via   
   TCP is an asynchronous thing.
