The proactor and reactor classes in giallo know nothing of sockets etc, and they can run in whichever thread you want.
Where exactly can I read about the API of this part? I cannot imagine at the moment how this would work :/ (see my previous post)
documentation is sorely lacking... but giallo adds a level of indirection to what I have understood of your current thinking: reads, writes etc are not directly initiated by the demultiplexer, rather by the connection class, which is responsable for combining the socket (pipe, or whatever else) class with the demultiplexer, hiding the details of which demultiplexer is used and ensuring the socket is in the correct blocaking/non-blocking/ asynch mode.
