Why did you not use ServerSocket.setReuseAddress(true)?

   3. You can't reconnect to the same remote TCP IP address during the
      TIME_WAIT period.

Which caveat are you refering to? TIME_WAIT? You mean at the client side? Shouldnt the client get an ephemeral port for the next connection?

This new port number ensures a unique association 5-tuple. (Stevens, 1990, Unix network programming, Section 5.2)

I've never had problems with SO_REUSEADDR! It is in use for EVERY server bound to a fixed port on this planet, isn't it?
