The difference between SO_REUSEPORT and SO_REUSEADDR is as follows: SO_REUSEADDR will allow a server to bind to a port that is in TIME_WAIT state, but not in use by a running server. However, SO_REUSEPORT allows multiple (running) servers to bind to the same port (if all of them have used SO_REUSEPORT). So ideally, your problem should have got solved with SO_REUSEPORT too. Not sure why it did not (maybe because of the state the port is in). Anyway, as I mentioned earlier it would be good gracefully exit your server than kill it. That will surely solve your problem. Let us know how it goes. Namita
