ASP.NET IO thread pool and asynchronous sockets

[Navin Mishra]

Hi,

I've an ASP.NET web service that consumes other web services as well as
sends data to client using TCP blocking sockets on a custom thread pool
threads. If I use asynchronous sockets to send data to clients, would it use
threads from ASP.NET IO thread pool ? Is it a good idea ? Or could it
potentially exhaust all threads from IO thread pool and cause problems for
web service to access other web services ?

Thanks in advance and regards
