        program things such that it will keep trying until all of the
        data is sent or simply give up. The send_n() function already
        does the "keep trying" option for us, so we use it.

        are two additional parameters you can use on the send() and
        send_n() method calls.  The timeout parameter limits the
        amount of time the system will attempt to send the data to the
