Async Tcp Client with Xamarin Forms .NET Standard 2?

Hi,
I am working an a project that with following requirements

1. Has to use TCP/IP to send and receive messages
2. The messages are in form of byte[], byte[] is sent and byte[] is received as response
3. I must have method like GetDataAsync() which will use your Async TcpClient to write asynchronously the message (send it to a server at an IP/Port) AND will then read response from that server
4. Once entire response is received, the response will then be converted into a string
5. The string will be parsed and used to create a List models which is then displayed in a ListView
6. This is to be done using .NETStandard 2.0 Xamarin Forms application.

Based on above, is this library helpful in such situation?

Much appreciated,
