Though I am not directly answering your question, I would
suggest using epoll(and non-blocking sockets). So, you will be
notified of data when it arrives. You don't have to block for some
timeout secs(or milliseconds). Once you have a EPOLL_IN notification,
you can use recv() and read all available data. Thanks
