Hey borka,
you were right with everything you said. Thanks for taking the time and clearing things up. I really appreciate you effort. I realized the protocol declares the size of the packet (I thought it was the packet it ... stupid me).

You said, TCP is a stream protocol, which is opposed to your next word that "you can receive packets in any order". Stream per it's definition means you can't have #2 before you get #1 out of the stream.
Yes, the stream itself could be split into transport frames which then could be delivered in random order, but the protocol stack on the client should reassemble stream, as I'm aware.
So, what really was wrong?

Ok, you renamed packets to frames, and said the same thing I said .....

The person was trying to get packets on the streaming protocol instead of decoding messages.
