Inband breaks are (were) not supported by all protocols and not all 
implementations of the same protocol on each platform (especially in the 
early days of SQL*Net).  It was clear to the developers that OBB was the most 
optimal way of implementing break handling but not every platform did support 
it.

So you will use IBB some on weird platforms that don't support OBB break.
