I believe you misunderstood the question, which was how the UDP protocol-specific bind routine should handle a second bind request for an already-bound port. Answers received so far are in favor of allowing subsequent binds to succeed, and handing copies of received data to each. Seems that could get confusing... -- Guy Streeter b11!guy!guy@ingr.com ...uunet!ingr!b11!guy!guy
