1. Is there a need for this library? Should be a new effort like proposed or do we have to revive 'boost Sockets' and only build upon that without throwing things away?

I am actually unsure what the scope of this proposed library is. It covers a demultiplexor. What else? There is likely some additional machinery needed to get from system-level source to what IOStreams (or whatever) operates on. I think the demultiplexor should be considered separately from other proposed features, including even actual handling of I/O or any blocking operations. Aaron W. LaFramboise
