Overview
Up until now the socket server requires two threads for operating. One accepting new connections, another to process them. This increases the resource footprint, and means that if we are using a system with a single available thread, creating more than one will lead to decreased performance. This means we need a way of handling new connections when there's only a single available thread
Expected Outcome
- Have the ability to run the socket server using a single thread
- this means we need to switch between performing the following tasks:
- accepting connections
- handling new connections
