A C++ framework for network is very useful and long for. I have seen the ACE, but felt it too weight. The proposed library seems a lightweight one and the socket wrapper is appropriate. I think if user manage the sockets one by one, the proposed library will work perfectly. But in common network applications, a server usually serves on several sockets or ports with a select() style function. In this condition, how to process multiple socket class for different connection the proposal ? In the pseudo code, select() function is a member function of socket, maybe it can only process the 'this' socket.

You are right: The signature of socket::select() as you have seen it in the Wiki is not complete.

Finally I don't like build socket lib based on iostream, but the net lib can provide some operator like "<<" , ">>" to simulate the iosteam-style calling.

Thanks Boris's work.

Thanks for your comments, too! After reading many times that I/O streams are not desired on a low level I will update my proposal and move I/O streams support to a higher level. Boris
