I'd be interested in hearing what others are doing for their
multiplexor, or so I call it. This is the thing that answers
datagrams and at the same time set/expire timers, and send/rec
ack datagrams...
One problem that I ran into and decided to ignore it for now is
real time expiration... since when I am doing procedure themselves,
I don't check timers, so if timers expire then, I wait til later
to take care of them... there is ways to do active timers, with
signal handlers, but then we lose on not being able to pass info
to the handlers and instead have to use global variables (yacks).
I decided that this was something not important enough to worry
about, unless I do multithreading on the server side.
Anyone has any comments?
