+# `static-threaded` web server
+
+The `static-threaded` web server spawns a fixed number of threads.
+All the threads are concurrently listening for web requests on the same sockets.
+The kernel distributes the incoming requests to them.
+
+Each thread uses non-blocking I/O so it can serve any number of web requests in parallel.
+
+This web server respects the `keep-alive` HTTP header to serve multiple HTTP requests via the same connection.
