I like to think of it as "defining the protocol" rather than "framing
your data".  But it ends up as the same thing: making sure each end
knows when it should stop looking for more data and start /acting/ on
it.

And yes, you can't do much with a TCP soocket without setting up these
rules. It's important to see that noone does it /for/ you.
