Yes, this is definitely something that needs to be done. Once I finish 
up some other project administration work that needs to be done, I'll be 
  creating a new SVN branch containing the network socket rework that 
I've been doing... that will lead to the socket layer being able to 
deliver incoming packets to pools of threads allocated by each socket 
user, including chan_iax2.
