Hi Binand, Thanks for the information. Actually I tried to bind two different sockets to the same IP:port combination with both the options (i.e REUSEPORT and REUSEADDR), but Linux would not let me do that. I got a way out by writing a small driver which would accept all the packets destined for the IP:port and demultiplex it into the interested programs.
BTW Thanks, Mrinmoy > Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 19:52:23 +0530 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Ilug-cal-discuss] Facing issue in Perl 5.8 related to > socket option SO_REUSEPORT > > 2009/4/16 Mrinmoy Ghosh : >> I am trying to use SO_REUSEPORT socket option in one of my Perl programs, >> but it flags an error as: >> >> "Your vendor has not defined Socket macro SO_REUSEPORT" > > Iirc, your socket needs to be of the multicast type to use > SO_REUSEPORT.

Not sure if Linux even implements SO_REUSEPORT. > > Binand > _______________________________________________ > Ilug-cal-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://list.ilug-cal.org/mailman/listinfo/ilug-cal-discuss _________________________________________________________________ How fun is this?
