Hi ,

We have a requirement where we need to bind a port to same addresses. There is 
an option "SO_REUSEPORT" available on AIX, Linux and some other OS which 
provide this capability. However Solaris doesn't support this option. Googling 
I could find out that this option is equivalent to using "SO_REUSEADDR" in 
setsockopt system call for mutlicast addresses. However we don't have multicast 
address but still we need to bind to the same IP:port pair.

As I found out in the below link, there was a plan to include this in future.

Is anyone aware if there is any patch for this or any way to fulfill this 
requirement

Thanks in advance
