multiconnection server

How would you allow more than 1 connection on a server using winsock? I thought maybe you create multiple sockets to all listen on the same port, is this right? Thanks

Using TCP you:

socket()
bind()
listen()
accept()
send()
recv()


Using UDP you:

socket()
bind()
sendto()
recvfrom()


With UDP only one socket is needed, the sendtd and recvfrom calls take an extra argument that specifies the remote machine that is sending / receiving.

With TCP, when you call accept() you get back a new socket handle for the connection with the remote host.
