Property setter documentation:
Enable/disable the SO_REUSEADDR socket option.
For UDP sockets it may be necessary to bind more than one socket to the same socket address. This is typically for the purpose of receiving multicast packets (See java.net.MulticastSocket). The SO_REUSEADDR socket option allows multiple sockets to be bound to the same socket address if the SO_REUSEADDR socket option is enabled prior to binding the socket using #bind(SocketAddress).
Note: This functionality is not supported by all existing platforms, so it is implementation specific whether this option will be ignored or not. However, if it is not supported then #getReuseAddress() will always return false.
When a DatagramSocket is created the initial setting of SO_REUSEADDR is disabled.
The behaviour when SO_REUSEADDR is enabled or disabled after a socket is bound (See #isBound()) is not defined.
