SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_CBPF option for socket about liblo

[radarsat1]

Interesting, looks like it couldn't hurt.. http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html

If the BPF program
returns an invalid index, socket selection will fall back to
the plain SO_REUSEPORT mechanism.

I don't fully understand if OSC would stand to gain much, from the slides it appears that it's for very heavy UDP traffic. I guess it could, depending on the user. But as long as it doesn't hurt anything and could make things better, I see little reason not to try it.

I suppose I might want to test with several liblo-using applications to make sure there aren't any adverse effects.

SO_REUSEPORT doesn't play nice on windows, so maybe it could be just for macos/linux.
I really don't know if we could gain something...
reading some docs I found this one which explains BPF (search for BPF Programs):

well it seems complicated... one should open BPF device for read-write access, put the filtering and attach it to an interface ('en0', 'lo0', etc...).
so it may not fit our needs...
