The OnUDPRead event specifically is triggered in the context of main thread
by default. Set the server's ThreadedEvent property to True to trigger the
event in the context of the server's internal worker thread instead.
TCP server events are never triggered in the context of the main thread.
TCP connections are managed by their own threads that are internal to the
server. The events are always triggered in the context of those threads.

That will never happen. Again, TCP server events are always triggered in
the context of their own threads, and the OnUDPRead event will always be
triggered in the context of the main thread when the ThreadedEvent property
is False, or its own thread when True.

Your understanding is not correct.
