FAST over TCP

Hi,

I read http://www.fixprotocol.org/documents/2301/A%20Basic%20Guide%20to%20FAST%20v1.0.pdf.

I am confused about the frame length field mentioned on page 17.

I am sending an encoded message over TCP (socket). So do I need to prefix the message with the length of the message?

If yes, how does the receiver know that it is a new message (given that date transferred over TCP is just a byte stream)?

If it has been asked, please give me a pointer. (A little bit hard to use the search function here...:()

Thanks in advance!
