Without knowing exactly how you send the messages it's hard to say. Assuming
that you are using TCP sockets, I can say the following:

one of great misconceptions of programmers is that they believe TCP
communication to be message-based. It's not. It's stream-based. If you need
messages, you need to manually merge and split messages that you receive or
use some message-oriented middleware. You can check MsgConnect
(http://www.msgconnect.com/) which eliminates the problem.
