Nginx Listen directive with reuseport; SO_REUSEPORT

[c0nw0nk]

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.
