Would you please tell me which kind of socket I can use?

We are developing a new system which needs to receive data from 4 19.2k
data feeds and then write to Sybase database.One process on one machine
will receive data and write to a socket, another process on another
machine will read data from the socket then write to database. So, what
will the socket type and protocal be? Shall we use a connection_oriented
socket or a connectionless socket?

Thanks for your help.

In a connection-less socket, there is no guarantee of delivery of packets,
and moreover, they may arrive out of order!

I would use connection-oriented sockets.(SOCK_STREAM)

Thanks,
