 Sockets Applications]
 > Microsoft Windows networking components have been developed for
 performance and scalability. This enables applications to maximize
 available network bandwidth. Windows Sockets and the Windows TCP/IP
 protocol stack have been tuned and streamlined. As a result, properly
 written Windows applications can achieve exceptional throughput and
 performance
 > These achievements illustrate that Windows TCP/IP processes data very
 quickly. Many applications, however, do not take advantage of the Windows,
 TCP/IP, and Windows Sockets performance capabilities because they
 unknowingly implement performance-hampering techniques.
