TCP - send and receive TCP / IP data

I have a client and server that communicate with each other using the TCP connection standard.

The server is configured to send data in blocks of x bytes in size. The client is also configured to receive data in chunks of x bytes (that is, the client expects that the TCP stack call to receive x bytes will succeed if the connection to the remote end did not end).

Can my TCP protocol be based on the assumption above?

Deja vu Will read TCPStream until all data has been received.

I understand that this looks a little different, but at the heart they are very similar questions.

Do not make assumptions about packet sizes.

No. TCP is a flow based protocol. You cannot guarantee "chunks" unless you process yourself at the application level. TCP as a protocol does not guarantee this for you.
