Asynchronous TCP Sockets with Multi-threating in OMNET++

[Mani Amoozadeh]

Hi,

Is is possible to create asynchronous TCP sockets that support multi-threading in OMNET++.

What I have in mind is to use Boost to create such a program, but I was wondering if the OMNET++ kernel allows such a thing.

Thanks!

Hi Mani,

it is possible to integrate multiple asynchronous sockets into OMNeT++, I have done something like that before.
However, OMNeT++ is not thread-safe (at least to the extent I am aware), so I decided to process IO operations of these sockets in a custom event scheduler sequentially.

Best regards,
Raphael
