I'm not sure what you're getting at.  Normally if you have a lot of TCP
connections, you have a separate socket for each one, and listen to them
all simultaneously with something like epoll.  So again, you have a
single listener and can examine the sender addresses of incoming packets
as they arrive, if that's what you want to do.

I still don't see why pthreads helps you, unless you want the
parallelism of a multicore cpu, which of course creates all sorts of
concurrency hazards in your program that you have to watch out for.
Presumably the Forth round robin multitasker doesn't actually visit all
the blocked tasks while they're blocked?  If that's what you meant, it
should be easy to fix, I hope.
