What is the problem that this solves?

Why not just increase the allowed size of the socket listen backlog if you just want to handle bursts of traffic.

I do not think of this as a proxy, rather a tunnel.
And the tunnel is a lot more expensive the having kernel keep the connection in
the listen socket backlog.

I work on a web proxy written on python that handles huge load and
using backlog of the bursts.

It’s async using twisted as threads are not practice at scale.
