[erlang-questions] clarify: SO_REUSEADDR under darwin?

[Paul Mineiro]

Ok.

This problem arose because a multicast application I'm writing won't let
two nodes on the same box work under darwin but does under linux.

However this link says that for multicast ports, SO_REUSEADDR is the same
as SO_REUSEPORT.

http://www.unixguide.net/network/socketfaq/4.11.shtml

So my modified version of test (attached), still fails under darwin and
succeeds under linux.

Is this a known problem under darwin?

Is there a way to specify SO_REUSEPORT for gen_udp:open ?

Thanks,

Optimism is an essential ingredient of innovation. How else can the
individual favor change over security?
