     Hi,
     
     I would be interested in helping out with this. I have had experience 
     of using and porting ACE and extensive experience of protocol 
     implementation with some experience of protocol design.
     
     I've had a look at Joesphe's diagram and at the momment it looks like 
     a very low level wrapper facarde that would not be very safe.
     
     At the protocol level its missing broadcast and multicast concepts 
     and, I would suggest that it is missing concepts such as acceptors and 
     connectors and event demultipleing similar to the ACE Reactor.
     
     This is something that I recently started looking at from a design 
     perspective, so I don't *yet* have a concrete proposal.
     
     I could probably have something preliminary ready nexct week.
     
     /ikh

Joseph Berrios, a grad student at the University of Florida, has been 
working on a Sockets library for Boost at my urging.  I provided him with a 
list of requirements, and he has been reading the literature and has gone 
through a couple of design iterations.
     
The UML diagram for his current design is at 
http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~jberrios/Sockets.jpg
     
His overall grasp of C++ interface/implementation principles seems 
reasonable, although I haven't seen enough examples to be sure.  But his 
detailed C++ coding skills, including meeting Boost's requirements and 
guidelines, seem to need further development.
     
Would anyone like to volunteer to work with Joseph as a mentor and/or 
co-author for a Boost Sockets Library?
     
If so, please contact him at jberrios_at_[hidden]
