Are you sure IOCP is able to share sockets between process? It
would be great if you can share some info about this. I only use
No, I am not sure. But this SO reply seems to suggest
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14388706/socket-options-so-reuseaddr-and-so-reuseport-how-do-they-differ-do-they-mean-t/14388707#14388707
But: there are actually 2 things required (which Linux does):
a) able to share sockets (without communicating a socket descriptor over
some channel)
b) have the kernel load-balance incoming connections over all processes
listening
E.g. FreeBSD does only a) currently, not b)
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms740478(v=vs.85).aspx
This feature is only available on windows 8.1 or later. It would be
great if twisted can support this feature.
Interesting! But that's not what Linux does, as it requires to
communicate WSAPROTOCOL_INFO over to other processes.
AND: it's not clear from the MS docs if the Win kernel will actually
load-balance incoming connections.
