Why can't the TCPMUX listener just bind the correct application to the TCB (after figuring out what the appropriate application is), and then forget about the connection, leaving it entirely to the application to deal with? All packets which belong to that connection will automatically go to that TCB, and thence to the application, with no second layer of demux needed.
Am I missing something?

On BSD and Solaris you can just pass the file descriptor from the new connection to the already running server.
