How does SO_REUSEPORT load balance to its listening sockets?
Issue
- How does the
SO_REUSEPORTlisten socket option load balance to its listening sockets? - Can you please describe how kernel load balancing works in RHEL when we bind multiple processes to same TCP port with
SO_REUSEPORT? - We want to load balance properly so workers binding to one port requests are distributed correctly.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 and later
SO_REUSEPORTsocket option to allow multiple programs to attach to the same listen socket
