Nothing really as long as you use the callback (with message) form then all the reading and writing is done on a separate thread. Of course your callback handler is handled on the main engine thread but that’s not the slow part so that’s fine. tsNet does not provide sockets so that and its licensing probably only confuses any discussion of asynchronous sockets.
