Maybe I got a wrong impression, but to me it looks like asio is offered (or perceived) as something like Boost Networking Library. And as such, I would expect clean sockets from it. Otherwise, who will provide them? Do we expect another Socket class to be reviewed any time soon?

There was a very good discussion about this some months ago, when someone posted a layered design. I think ideally a (network) stream API would thus be layered on top of asio. In fact, if the low level 'transport protocol' is being made a policy, the stream API could be parametrized to only depend on asio if async operations are requested. Regards, Stefan
