I would like to know if anyone knows how to flush input and/or output
buffer for TCP/IP connection using TLTCPComponent. If there is no
built in mechanism to do this, what other options are there to do the
same. Thanks in advance.

AFAIK INET is not make use of internal buffers propably you mean the
buffer of the OS
for this is responsible the OS and all you have to do is to "wait" for
a while when you hit its limits
this might help [ https://lnet.wordpress.com/usage/sockets-protocols-

So, which means you have to just simple loop reading out what is in
the buffer until there is nothing in the buffer to be read. lol...
