Use a mutex to protect the sockets. The main problem is that sockets aren't thread safe, so if you make any calls on them simultaneously from those 3 threads, bad things will eventually happen. If you use a mutex to guarantee that only one thread is accessing a particular socket at a time, then you will be safe.
