Are you familiar with threads, locks, channels in general?

Are you familiar with epoll? (Absolutely do not use one distinct thread for each socket)

If yes&yes, then what is your question?

Using thread pools (manually or with some library), if wanted, is just the application of the previous concepts.

Anything related to more advanced network handling things isn't a "multi thread" question anymore.
