What is the link for the tutorial? 

In my sig.
Go to the V2 version and look for the Network Programming topic.

> what is a context? I dealt with them a lot in Android programming 

Nothing to do with Android contexts I'm simply using the 
English meaning. In other words my example processes each 
request independent of the client, there is no concept of session 
state. It basically servers up a sequience of numbers on a firs 
come first served basis, it doesn't remember the last number 
served per client and give the next number it just serves the 
next number to whoever asks for one.

In your case you only have one client per server - albeit with 
two servers - so each server only has to deal with a single 
client's request so again no need to keep session state 
(the context), you just look at the model and act accordingly.
