Is it possible to get rid of "sticking" of bytes during WriteAsync from TcpClient.GetStream()?

Question

C++ / C#

There is a TcpClient object, NoDelay = true is set, I write an array of 16 bytes asynchronously to its stream, but when I send 2 arrays almost in a row, they stick together and at the other end, when reading, 32 bytes are obtained. How to fix it?

byte[] b1 = GetSomeBytesLen16();
client.GetStream().WriteAsync(b1, 0, b1.Length);
SomeAction1();
SomeAction1();
byte[] b2 = GetSomeBytes2Len16();
client.GetStream().WriteAsync(b2, 0, b2.Length);

//Где то в колбеке от BeginRead
int count = client.GetStream().EndRead(ar);//count = 32

Answer 1

No way. TCP is a pipe of bytes. You must separate the byte stream into packets yourself.

Answer 2

Make it simple, create a specific structure for your data. But at the very beginning, allocate 4 bytes for SIZE, for example, you have an array of bytes and 100 values, write 100 to the beginning of the stream and read exactly 100 bytes on the server / client, profit

Answer 3

Data groups must be separated. How to do it is your task. Typically, a terminating character (signature) is used, for example \0, if the length of the transmitted data is not known in advance, or a character (signature) of the beginning of new data, followed by the length of the transmitted block is usually sent.
