Actually, there's one limitation here I have to point out for completeness:

You may *not* share one sockets between multiple threads. So while you 
are allowed to receive on socket A in one thread and send on socket B in 
another thread, you may *not* receive on socket A in one thread an send 
on the same socket A in any other thread!
