    I did something very similar before with MSMQ. Does it take much time to
    process the incoming UDP requests? If not, you could listen on one thread, as
    you said, and simply pass the request to the ThreadPool, using the
    QueueUserWorkItem method. If it does take a long time to process a request, I
    would not advise using the threadpool as it could become starved quickly. In
    this scenario, either create new Thread objects manually (which is the quick
    option, but could degrade performance if you have too many threads running at
    once, leading to too many context switches), or grab the source for one of
    the many custom thread pools out there.

    Hope this helps.
