Reminds me of trying to do IoT stuff in hospitals before IoT was a thing.

Send exactly one 205 byte packet. How do you really know? I can see it go out on a scope. And the other end receives a packet with bytes 0-56. Then another packet with bytes 142-204. Finally a packet a 200ms later with bytes 57-141.

FfffFFFFffff You!

If you were using TCP, then this is absolutely normal and expected behavior. It is a stream protocol, not packet/message based.

If only there was some sort of User Datagram Protocol where you could send specifically tuned packets like this.
