Create Your Own Thread Pool

If you build many .NET applications where you need to perform regular work such as packet processing from a socket, you may have run into some of the drawbacks in the built-in System.Threading.ThreadPool.

The .NET framework itself also uses this ThreadPool for items such as the Timer in the System.Threading namespace. In the end, this means that if you need to use a thread pool in your application and you choose to use the existing .NET class, you will not have full control over it. To overcome this limitation, the simplest solution is to create your own thread pool.
