tranfer rate?

hey all,

I'm using the winsock control to send a files in excess of 1MB in size. I'm using a TCP/IP connection

My question is, is there a way to control the packet sizes that are tranmitted, or does the TCP/IP protocols control that?

I'm on DSL and my fear is if i'm sending data to a connection speed of 56kb/ps i don't want to encouter any packet loss. Slow things down.

hmmm, well i suppose it does control the size:(. I don't know!

please help :)

Yes, it does limit the packet size, and no, you don't have to worry
about packet loss. TCP packets have id numbers that allow the
receiving side to put them back together in order. If a packet is
missing or corrupt, the receiver should request a resend. If the
file transfer is your own protocol, you can take it one step further
and limit the packet size by sending smaller chunks, and sending
back a received response before sending the next chunk.
