Subject: SO_REUSEPORT - can it be done in kernel?

Hi Tom,

How did you solved the issue regarding scaling TCP listeners?
I think SO_REUSEPORT proposed by patch [1] can be a good
start. Where there any follow ups?

Also, solving the problem in users pace can be an option. I want
to run multiple instances of a DNS server on a multi core system.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

SO_REUSEPORT option seems to be already there [2]. Where
there any plans to have a kernel implementation?

thanks,
Daniel.
