From 299c407501378134f31b6931645531ad0f700066 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Fri, 5 Jul 2024 20:44:08 +1000 Subject: doc: Add program to document and test assumptions about SO_REUSEADDR For the approach we intend to use for handling UDP flows, we have some pretty specific requirements about how SO_REUSEADDR works with UDP sockets. Specifically SO_REUSEADDR allows multiple sockets with overlapping bind()s, and therefore there can be multiple sockets which are eligible to receive the same datagram. Which one will actually receive it is important to us. Add a test program which verifies things work the way we expect, which documents what those expectations are in the process.
