Nginx Listen directive with reuseport; SO_REUSEPORT

[Lucas Rolff]

What’s high traffic? At a previous employer we used it across the infrastructure, and I’d say it’s fairly high traffic (100s of gigabit of traffic).

    So on each server you can add to your listen directive.
    
    
    listen 8181 default bind reuseport;
    
    
    Cloudflare use it and posted in on their blog and github here (benchmark
    stats included)

    I question if it is ideal in a production high traffic enviorment if using
    "reuseport" will be beneficial or it is best to just leave it out as it is
    by default anyway.
