Hi,
   By going through ASIO, i find that the I/O Service gets run on a thread
and the socket gets created with a I/O Service. So the data for the socket
has to be always sent through the same thread. For trying take advantage of
data localization, i am exploring whether it would be possible to have a
thread per multi-core processor running the io_service::run() method. I am
just wondering there is a way where in i can change the io_service
associated with the socket. Can someone help me with that?

Thanks,
Gokul.
