There isn't a difference. All that deregistering OP_ACCEPT does is prevent the application from calling accept(). It has exactly the same effect as thread-starving the accepting thread in blocking mode. I have written books on Java networking and I do know about this. Your 3-line program allows > 1 connection at a time because of the backlog queue, as I have been explaining, and when the backlog queue fills up, as it does when the application doesn't call accept() fast enough, or at all, you get platform-dependent behaviour. There is nothing you can do about this in Java or indeed in C either. A program that created a ServerSocketChannel, didn't register it for OP_ACCEPT, and then called select(), would behave in exactly the same way.
