Hi:

  If I need to send a huge string data between nodes, say "2Mbytes".
  Do I need send it by one time or break it into small
  pieces first and then send them in several times.
  Which way is effecient? If the later is better, how
  I choose the optimun chunk size to send?

  If I directly use socket interface to send it, is
  there any difference in choosing best size?

  Any point will be appreciated!!!

  Tony
