boost::asio when should I use socket::async_send instead of the free function async_write?
socket::async_send() is a composed method which is implemented in termos of zero or more calls to socket::async_write_some(). However, as the documentation describes:
The send operation may not transmit all of the data to the peer.
So, when do I need such a behavior?

When you are bursting info on the socket and part of the info is disposable.
