Analyzes new TCP messages, typically handled within the accepter object. The result is a combination of bitwise flags, namely namely LW6SRV_ANALYSE_DEAD, LW6SRV_ANALYSE_UNDERSTANDABLE, and LW6SRV_ANALYSE_OOB which helps knowing what to do with message.

Return value: bitwise flag.

Opens a server connection. One might wonder, clients open connections, but servers? To some extent, this is the equivalent of accept in the socket API, it will actually create an object one can then use to communicate. Be carefull with the implementation of the callback, keep in mind it can be called any time in multithreaded mode, you need to set up locks when accessing shared objects, including, but not limited to, your own data buffers.
