Request reply management in webservers

All,
          Please let me know how a web server manages Request and Reply? How
the Web servers maintain the Request queue? How would the Web servers make
sure reply are sent to intendended or appropriate requests?

   Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sandeep

This is pretty basic TCP/IP stuff, and the exact mechanisms are handled
by the operating system and the JVM. Get a good book on UNIX networking
(try Stevens's UNIX Networking) and you can read all about it. I have no
idea how win32 implements all that stuff, but it's probably pretty
similar (different functions, same idea). The JVM just builds right on
top of the capabilities provided by the operating system, minus a lot of
the details so it's easier to work with.
