## Intent
|
|||
|
The Leader/Followers pattern provides a concurrency model where multiple
|
|||
|
threads can efficiently de-multiplex events and dispatch event handlers
|
|||
|
that process I/O handles shared by the threads.

## Applicability
|
|||
|
Use Leader-Followers pattern when
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* multiple threads take turns sharing a set of event sources in order to detect, de-multiplex, dispatch and process service requests that occur on the event sources.
