Is the TCP-code threaded?

Hello,

I have been looking quite deeply into the TCP-code, but there is one thing I simply dont manage to understand. Can the code process more than one skb on a socket at the time, or is it strictly one and one?

E.g say that you are going to send something (an skb), and you recieve an ack at the same time. Will the kernel finish whatever of the two comes first (say, finish sending) or can it, in the middle of treating the new packet to send, do a switch and process the ack?

Thanks,
Kristian
