Description
Can we have a flush method on the server?
I´ve done it using a dirty way:
//flush tcp messages
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < (unsigned int)TCP.getLastID(); i++) {
if (TCP.isClientConnected(i)) {
string str;
do{
str = TCP.receive(i);
}while(!str.empty());
}
}

Research direction
Start by locating the TCP server implementation and reading the existing getLastID, isClientConnected, and receive entry points shown in the issue. Add a server-level flush operation that covers the current client-message draining use case, then verify that the documented loop can be replaced by it and test the relevant TCP behavior.
