When I call EndGetContext, the server is able to process another request

Looks like you need to refactor this. Consider a design where each request will have it's own IAsyncResult instance. I guess that should solve the problem

Do you mean the pattern in my code is not truly handles incoming requests at the same time?

Are there any benefits doing this? Could you show me a couple of lines of pseudo code please?
