Answer 1

I've used boost asio with a client / server where the server has several hundreds of concurrent connections all day long. Each session does a lot of read/write operations for several hours each. I would recommend using the latest version of boost asio. I can't remember version 1.39 but I've had issues with older versions. The current version of boost asio seems stable.

The software I'm talking about only runs on Windows I should mention as well though which differs from your situation.
