go-reuseport-transport

Basic reuseport TCP transport

This package provides a basic transport for automatically (and intelligently) reusing TCP ports.

To use, construct a new Transport (the zero value is safe to use) and configure any listeners (tr.Listen(...)).

Then, when dialing (tr.Dial(...)), the transport will attempt to reuse the ports it's currently listening on, choosing the best one depending on the destination address.

NOTE: Currently, we don't make any attempts to prevent two reusport transports from interfering with each other (reusing each other's ports). However, we reserve the right to fix this in the future.

Install

go-reuseport-transport is a standard Go module which can be installed with:

go get github.com/libp2p/go-reuseport-transport
