I would expect both asio and a stream API to be layered on top of low-level socket API. This socket API should wrap the platform dependency, but otherwise provide pretty much the same capabilities as current C socket APIs provide, with minimum overhead.

Yes. Though I'm not sure a thin wrapper around the platform API adds much value at all. Too big are the differences. And besides, why should people really care whether the thing is a socket, as long as the semantics are correct ? Regards, Stefan
