Original description

What change would like to see?

In the EthernetClient is possible add a function for get the socket number?
Or if is not possible add a new function is possible expose the _sock variable to children classes?

Why?
Actualy if there are multiple connections open it is impossible know from wich client we are reciving data

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?
No.

In EthernetClient.cpp
uint8_t EthernetClient::getSocketNumber() {
return _sock;
}

In In EthernetClient.h
uint8_t getSocketNumber ();

Thanks.

This issue can be fully resolved with the addition of EthernetClient::getSocketNumber() proposed in this PR: #3123 by @bigjohnson.
