I think the thing to note is not any difference between the two, but that adding this API will expose the native capabilities of the OS (if I'm correct). If the OS has these, then it is possible that they might be faster than how it is done now with NIO.

AFAIK they are the same. Asynchronous and non-blocking are identical in this context. They both mean that you don't have to wait for a response to continue (as oposed to synchronous or blocking I/O). You need to work with event handlers to process the responses (as mentioned by Mladen). Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_io if you want to know more.
