See the ttcp patch where we do a xgetaddrinfo crude hack to handle dccp:

Humm, for what? Again, see the ttcp code above:

Strange, lemme check...
1. sys_socketcall ->
2. sys_setsockopt ->
3. if (level == SOL_SOCKET) {
4. sock_setsockopt:
5. case SO_REUSEADDR:
6. sk->sk_reuse = valbool;
7. } else
8. sock->ops->setsockopt = inet_dccp_ops->setsockopt =
9. inet_dccp_ops->setsockopt = sock_common_setsockopt ->
10. sk->sk_prot->setsockopt = dccp_v4_prot->setsockopt =
11. dccp_setsockopt
12. if (level != SOL_DCCP)
13. return inet_csk(sk)->icsk_af_ops->setsockopt() =
14. ip_setsockopt
15. return do_dccp_setsockopt()
SO_REUSEADDR is handled in 4, if you pass SOL_SOCKET.
If instead you pass SOL_DCCP we'll go down the rabbit hole till
do_dccp_setsockopt() and SO_REUSEADDR, that is equal to 2, will be
interpreted as DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE, that is also equal to 2, so you'll
be setting the service, not changing the SO_REUSEADDR setting.
The problem here is that you need to use:
setsockopt(fd, SOL_DCCP, DCCP_SOCKOPT_PACKET_SIZE, service,
sizeof(service));
Again, take a look at the ttcp patch, the other patches for iperf,
netcat, etc handles this.

Look forward for a happy DCCP netperf bencharking session!
Thanks a lot,
