There should be no need to do that. Instead, when DTLSv1_listen returns
successfully, you should create a new fd for the *client* (connected to
their address as returned from DTLSv1_listen()), and then update the SSL
object for the client to use that fd. You can reuse the old fd for the
next DTLSv1_listen call. You will need a new SSL object for the next
DTLSv1_listen() call though.

Thanks for the reply Matt. Previosuly , I did the exact thing you mentioned. But in that case , the DTLSV1_listen returns succesfully (> 0) immediately on reception of
app packet and hangs on SSL_accept.

Here is tshark trace of the same:

    1 0.000000000    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    SSL 244 Client Hello
    2 0.000136330    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    DTLSv1.0 90 Hello Verify Request

    4 0.999217798    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    DTLSv1.0 264 Client Hello
    5 1.001095034    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    DTLSv1.0 1482 Server Hello, Certificate, Server Key Exchange, Certificate Request, Server Hello Done
    6 1.003771485    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    DTLSv1.0 1457 Certificate, Client Key Exchange, Certificate Verify, Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message
    7 1.004282757    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    DTLSv1.0 1252 New Session Ticket, Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message
    8 4.313854533    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    DTLSv1.0 103 Application Data
    9 4.314110117    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    DTLSv1.0 295 Application Data   
   10 31.662557986    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    SSL 244 Client Hello
   11 32.662344551    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    SSL 244 Client Hello
   12 34.665481449    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    SSL 244 Client Hello
   13 38.662321433    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    SSL 244 Client Hello
   14 46.662998247    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    SSL 244 Client Hello
   15 62.662816876    127.0.0.1 → 127.0.0.1    SSL 244 Client Hello

The trace starting from 10 is from the second client and it hangs because DTLSv1_listen has already returned and is struck on SSL_accept.

Can you clarify that at any moment of time, dtls can process only one handshake at a time.
