You would only have 1 poll thread, but you would have 2 listener thread, each creating an endpoint which they would listen to. Since we don't do blocking t_listen calls, the 1 poll thread would be responsible for polling the endpoints and waking the listener threads when an incoming connection request event had occured for the endpoint.
