I have to code a server app where clients open a TCP/IP socket, send some data and close the connection.

The data packets are small < 100 bytes, however there is talk of having them batch their transactions and send multiple packets.

How can I best simulate a dial-up ut connection (using Delphy & Indy components, just FYI)?

Is it as simple as

open connection
wait a while (what is the definition of "a while"?)
close connection
