-The PCBGROUP paper describes two main kind of connection groups.

-Serialization occurs when queuing work into and completing work from

-No locking is required inside each worker thread.

-The second type of connection group, called ConnP-L, uses an array
-of PCB groups rather than a single list.
-Each PCB group is protected by its own lock.
