    <p>I have a server application that receives some special TCP packet from a client and needs to react to it as soon as possible by sending an high-level ACK to the client (the TCP ACK won't suite my needs).</p> <p>However, this server is really network intensive and sometimes the packet will take too long to be sent (like 200ms in a local network, when a simple server application can send it in less than 1ms).</p> <p>Is there a way to mark this packet with a high-priority tag or something like that in Delphi? Or maybe with the Win32 API?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Thanks for all the answers so far. I'll add some details. My product has the following setup: there are several devices that are built upon vehicles with WIFI conectivity. When they arrive at the garage, those device connect to my server and start to transmit data. </p> <p>Because of hardware limitations, I implemented a high-level ACK to make the device aware that the last packet arrived successfully (please, don't argue about this - the data may be broken even if I got a correct TCP ACK). However, if I use my server software, that communicates with a remote database, to issue this ACK, I get very long delay (>200ms). If I use an exclusive software to do this task, I get small latencies (&lt;1ms). So, I was imagining if I could just tell Windows to send those special packets first, as it <strong>seems</strong> to me that this package is getting delayed so the database ones can get delivered.</p> <p>That's the motivation behind my question.</p> <p><strong>EDIT 2</strong></p> <p>As requested: this is legacy software and I'm using the legacy <em>dclsockets140.bpl</em> package and <em>Delphi 2010 (14.0.3593.25826)</em>.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
