To allow a single thread to manage multiple IO connections,
the Java platform should support an API analogous to the 
Unix "select" or "poll" APIs, to permit a thread to wait
for one of a set of connections to be ready for IO.

It is possible that this functionality might be subsumed
by the more general asynchronous IO proposal 4290702.

This is important when the server needs to manage massive
amount of connections for efficiency.
