title: C++: One client communicating with multiple server
body: <p>I was wondering, if it is possible to let one client communicate with multiple server at the same time. As far as I know, common browsers like for example firefox are doing exactly this.</p>
  
  <p>The problem I have now is, that the client has to listen and wait for data from the server, rather then requesting it itself. It has to listen to multiple server at once. Is this even possible? What happens if the client is listening to server 1 and server 2 sends something? Is the package lost or will it be resend until the client communicates a successful receival? The protocol used is TCP.</p>
  
  <p>edit: platform is Windows. Thanks for pointing this out Arunmu.</p>
