Hi,

Fairly new to Boost. Bear with me.

I'm trying to write a multithreaded multithreaded server (two multithreaded operations): ideally, there should be a single process, containing at least two threads. The first thread handles various tasks (and can start other threads to help it as well). The other thread waits for incoming connections, and adds a new thread for each one:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/asio-samples/ Look at projects "echo_server" and "qt_echo_server". They use 2 thread pools among main (GUI) thread. One thread pool (size is 1-2 threads) executes session management loop: acceptance (with limited number of active sessions), start of accepted session, end of all sessions. Second thread pool (by default is CPU number bounded) executes sessions' loops: start of asynchronous read, start of asynchronous write, IO operation completion handling. Regards, Marat Abrarov.
