socket address multiplexing SO_REUSEADDR

background

By default, if a web application is a socket bound to a port (eg 888), at this time, other sockets can not use this port (888)

How to make that sockfd_one, sockfd_two two sockets can successfully bind port 8000 then? This time you need to go to the port complex. Port multiplexing allows an application can be tied to the n socket on a port without error.

At the same time, the n socket send information are normal, no problem. However, not all of these sockets can read the information, only the last one socket will normally receive data.

The most commonly used port complex should be to prevent the use of port before the binding has not been released or when the server is restarted the program abruptly quits and the system does not release the port. In this case, if the set port complex, the newly started server process can directly bind port. If no port complex, the binding will fail, prompting ADDR already in use.

The knowledge

To set the port complex before binding calls a function, but also bound to the same port as long as all the sockets had to set up multiplexes:

// sockfd_one, sockfd_two都要设置端口复用
// 在sockfd_one绑定bind之前，设置其端口复用
int opt = 1;
setsockopt( sockfd_one, SOL_SOCKET,SO_REUSEADDR, (const void *)&opt, sizeof(opt) );
err_log = bind(sockfd_one, (struct sockaddr*)&my_addr, sizeof(my_addr));
 
// 在sockfd_two绑定bind之前，设置其端口复用
opt = 1;
setsockopt( sockfd_two, SOL_SOCKET,SO_REUSEADDR,(const void *)&opt, sizeof(opt) );
err_log = bind(sockfd_two, (struct sockaddr*)&my_addr, sizeof(my_addr));
