C# TCP First Message Delay

Question

greetings,

i am writng a socket program using sockets in c# (asynchronous).

the issue is, when a client connects to the server it kinda happens quiet fast. then..

when the first message is sent there is a delay in responding.

this only happens to the very first data being sent over the connection. and boh client and server suffers from this behaviour.

what is this delay? is there a way to get rid of this?

many thanks.

i solved the issue by doing a handshake between the nodes. its more of a hack than a solution.
