Property setter documentation:

Enable/disable the SocketOptions#SO_REUSEADDR SO_REUSEADDR socket option.

When a TCP connection is closed the connection may remain in a timeout state for a period of time after the connection is closed (typically known as the TIME_WAIT state or 2MSL wait state). For applications using a well known socket address or port it may not be possible to bind a socket to the required SocketAddress if there is a connection in the timeout state involving the socket address or port.

Enabling SocketOptions#SO_REUSEADDR SO_REUSEADDR prior to binding the socket using #bind(SocketAddress) allows the socket to be bound even though a previous connection is in a timeout state.

When a ServerSocket is created the initial setting of SocketOptions#SO_REUSEADDR SO_REUSEADDR is not defined. Applications can use #getReuseAddress() to determine the initial setting of SocketOptions#SO_REUSEADDR SO_REUSEADDR.

The behaviour when SocketOptions#SO_REUSEADDR SO_REUSEADDR is enabled or disabled after a socket is bound (See #isBound()) is not defined.
