[osflash] under the hood XMLSockets v Binary Sockets question

Hello Iman,

I have not yet used AS3 Sockets, but as far as I have understood
things were separated from AS2 to AS3. AS2 offered XML and binary
transfers and this has been split up in AS3. I don't know anything
about the internals but I'd guess resend and the like are handled by IP.

Cheers,
