No, the asynchronous model works different: you issue a request for an 
operation, such as async_accept, and your program will be called back 
when that operation has been completed (or aborted). In this case, the 
handler will be invoked after your request for accepting a connection 
has been completed. Asio will not start accepting another connecting 
until you issue another request, which should be done after your 
previous request has been completed.
