The standard library documentation, while lacking in some areas, is
very much your friend here:

>From http://docs.python.org/lib/socket-objects.html (emphasis mine)
send(string[, flags])
Send data to the socket. The socket must be connected to a remote
socket. The optional flags argument has the same meaning as for recv()
above. *Returns the number of bytes sent.*

recv(bufsize[, flags])
Receive data from the socket. The return value is a string
representing the data received.

For timing you can probably use the timeit module (http://
docs.python.org/lib/module-timeit.html) but I'm not really sure how
you're defining "performance".  I mean, I can already tell you that
overall UDP will be "faster", as it has much less overhead.  Surely
your course has covered this...
