Generally, a TCP server does this:

1. Create a thread to listen for connection requests
2. Do a TcpListener.AcceptTcpClient in the above thread
3. When AcceptTcpClient accepts a connection, create a new thread
4. In new thread, do a GetStream and then Read the stream.
5. When data arrives, decode it and send a message to the GUI / Controller / whatever.
6. Process the TCP message and send a response message to the TCP thread to Write on the stream the result of the processing.
