GO_REUSEPORT is a little package to create net.TCPListener and net.UDPConn objects that support the SO_REUSEPORT socket option. This allows multiple daemons to listen on the same port, which opens some interesting possibilities.
The golang net package does not support setting socket options so this is not possible by default. This package works by using system calls to manually create the socket and set the desired options. The file descriptor that this process returns can then be turned into net.FileListener and net.FileConn objects using net.FileListener and net.FileConn, respectively.
