[SR-Users] Transport issue thought

[Federico Cabiddu]

You are right Alex, Linux kernel didn't support SO_REUSEPORT, which allows
a socket to be used as source for a tcp connection while is already bound,
until version 3.9.
Kamailio's parameter tcp_reuse_port, if enabled and your OS has support for
SO_REUSEPORT (so not only Linux but FreeBSD, OSX and others), allows you to
use force_send_socket (or $fs) to send messages from a TCP port kamailio is
listening to.

Cheers,

Federico
