Yes, and that's exactly why I thought it might be nice in clients with
lots (i.e., around 30-40) sockets it primarily just listens on. I also
would just like to understand how to make IOCPs work -- how much
technical overhead there is, the tricks, etc.

Thanks, I'll read it fully.

so as Ben Voigt wrote that not for client generally, but no one can stop you
to use it on client too. I propose PSDK example just to check that it work
on your computer as a start test.

Thanks. I had made other server samples work which were quite complex,
maybe the PSDK one will be different. The main difference that I see
is how the socket is created -- via connect on the client and
listen/accept on the server. I'm wondering if something is happening /
getting set in the server workflow that I need to add to my client
workflow.

BTW , what happen if you add already connected socket ( and not created ) to
CreateIoCompletionPort()

I'm afraid I don't understand what you said. A connected socket that's
not created? Maybe you're suggesting I try attaching the socket to the
IOCP *after* connecting to the server?

Thanks,
