I used to use winsock in vb6, where as i'm aware, you can't use streams.

What is the difference with using socketstreams to send data, as compared to sending packets with your own splitters in the data? Is there an advantage?

Does it save cpu cycles by not having to split the data into an array or something?

Also, I have been reading a few posts that suggest that bmax networking is caka. My winsock code on vb6 supports 20+ players without any problems on a half ass server. Am I to expect different from bmax?

Thanks
