thanks for the feedback.

Just to confirm if my approach is correct:

1. i connect to the SSH server and request a tcp-forwarding
2. then in my program i have an epoll(7) loop looking for EPOLLIN (READ) events:
3. for each incoming event i do:
   3.a try to accept a channel, if it works create the channel and add
it to a list (and jump to 3.c)
   3.b if accept a channel failed, try to read for each channel
registered in my list
   3.c for those channels who succeeded on reading data, write back a
response, then close the channel (channel cleanup)

but for some reason i see some missing channels notifications when
adding a simple concurrency of 2 clients. Should i use a different
mechanism to multiplex events on different channels ?, is there
something wrong with the proposed model ?

any help is appreciated
