For asynchronous operations, the fact that a demultiplexer is used is an implementation detail. The public interface of asio does not prohibit an implementation that uses, say, a thread per operation.
Does it make any difference? Thread completion still needs to be demultiplexed.
Let me put my point another way: Knowledge of the existence of demultiplexing, or any other method for implementing asynchronous I/O, is not a prerequisite for the use or understanding of asynchronous operations. Cheers, Chris
