Multiple network device queries: Threading or Asyncio?

Threading Approach

• Simplicity, direct parallelism
• Best suited for I/O-bound network operations
• Resource overhead and context switching considerations
• Optimal Thread Pool Sizing: 3-4 threads per CPU core. Example: 12-Core Machine allows a maximum of 48 thread workers.

Asyncio Paradigm

• Event-driven, non-blocking I/O model
• Lightweight concurrency with minimal overhead
• Ideal for high-concurrency scenarios
• Better resource utilization and scalability
• Potential instability in unbounded concurrent scenarios: Mitigation Strategy with the use of semaphore to ensure system stability under heavy load
