**NOTE:** This package REQUIRES go >= 1.11.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This package enables listening and dialing from _the same_ TCP or UDP port.
|
||
|
This means that the following sockopts may be set:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
SO_REUSEADDR
|
||
|
SO_REUSEPORT
|
||
|
```

|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a simple package to help with address reuse. This is particularly
|
||
|
important when attempting to do TCP NAT holepunching, which requires a process
|
||
|
to both Listen and Dial on the same TCP port. This package provides some
|
||
|
utilities around enabling this behaviour on various OS.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Examples
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
```Go
|
||
|
// listen on the same port. oh yeah.
|
||
|
l1, _ := reuse.Listen("tcp", "127.0.0.1:1234")
|
||
|
l2, _ := reuse.Listen("tcp", "127.0.0.1:1234")
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
```Go
|
||
|
// dial from the same port. oh yeah.
|
||
|
l1, _ := reuse.Listen("tcp", "127.0.0.1:1234")
|
||
|
l2, _ := reuse.Listen("tcp", "127.0.0.1:1235")
|
||
|
c, _ := reuse.Dial("tcp", "127.0.0.1:1234", "127.0.0.1:1235")
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Note: cant dial self because tcp/ip stacks use 4-tuples to identify connections, and doing so would clash.**

## Tested

Tested on `darwin`, `linux`, and `windows`.
