Concatonate (recombine) the three messages into one 4096-byte buffer - if
that is what you desire.

TCP is a continuous byte stream of information. When a TCP buffer is sent it
can be fragmented in arbitrary ways.

Generally you must parse or interpret the TCP stream to be able to
understand the information being carried on the stream. How you parse the
stream depends on what sort of information is being carried. Some streams
carry strings that you must parse character-by-character to determine the
end of the string. Some streams carry structured information that consists
of header with byte counts, etc.
