Partially correct. You don't need an extra FIFO buffer externally to TWSocket because TWSockets buffers are FIFO buffers. You are right that these will grow until you run out of memory if you cant send data as fast as you receive it. But you said in your case you cannot control the rate your random is arriving at (or did I misinterpret?) so what else can you do except keep buffering it, or error? You could write your own buffering to disk I suppose...

That is impossible for random data, unless an extra FIFO buffer is used externally to TWSocket. Trying to understand how TIcsBufferHandler works, it appears to be multiple 1,460 byte blocks (TIcsBuffer), with new blocks being added if data can not be sent sufficiently fast. So I guess the answer to my question is there is no flow control and the buffers will just keep growing if data can not be sent fast enough, until the application runs out of memory.
