[En-Nut-Discussion] Time Calculation for TCP Data Transfer (want to reduce response time)

You might find it useful to use wireshark ethernet analyser 
(www.wireshark.org) to track the packet times - this will at least help 
you to see where some of the delays are and where you most need to focus 
your efforts.  (If you are running on a PC that is not the one connected 
to the micro-controller, dont forget to use a hub as switches will 
suppress the ethernet traffic not destined for the wireshark PC).

The value i got before sending the data is same as after sending the data. After some time when i keep sending and receiving there comes a difference of 1ms. This thing is from microcontroller side (ie time for microcontroller to send 128 Bytes of data)
