Lots of stuff will get broken. Although, it occurs to me... It should be possible to require that SO_REUSEPORT be specified on both the original and the duplicate sockets. This way, those programs (like ALL UDP-based servers) for which this is a requirement will still be able to work with a minimum of modification. We can't, however, require any modifications where multicast addresses are involved. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
