Hi all,

I'm currently working on writing a multi-threaded server application
on linux and I have a question about how linux handles it when one
thread attempts to write to a TCP socket while another thread is
reading from it, or vice-versa. Does the kernel serialize these
accesses or do they take place in parallel?

Thanks,
Dan Giaimo

They will happen in parallel. A TCP connection is really two distinct
connections, one in each direction. Except for some magic at setup and
teardown time, the two connections pretty much don't interact with each
other at all.
