Socket TIME_WAIT

Is there a way to reduce the TIME_WAIT length on a socket? It seems like it
takes a long time before the Port attached to a given socket can be
reused…

No. If you want to reuse the port/addr, check out SO_REUSEADDR/SO_REUSEPORT
in get/setsockopt().

Note, I think ttcpip only support SO_REUSEADDR.
