[lwip-devel] Repeated tcp_bind calls

[Russ Dill]

I'm trying to reuse a port, but it looks like I'm having to wait for a
time wait timeout as tcp_bind returns an error.

My sequence is
listen {
lpcb = tcp_new
ip_set_option(lpcb, SOF_REUSEADDR)
tcp_bind(lpcb, addr, port)
lpcb = tcp_listen(lpcb)
tcp_accept(lpcb, accept)
}

[...]

accept(pcb) {

/* repeated accept calls don't make sense in out application, close
the listen pcb */
if (tcp_close(lpcb) < 0)
    tcp_abort(lpcb)

< talk on pcb, eventually close >
}

After a listen/accept cycle has happened and accept has closed its
pcb, I'll try calling listen again, but bind will give me a failure
until some timeout. Is there any way to get around this? I have
SO_REUSE defined.
