Research direction

Start by reproducing the Besu execution-layer client issue and review the socket-related warnings in udp.rs, legacy_tcp.rs, and mod.rs. Determine the required SO_REUSEADDR and other syscall or socket-option behavior from the reported logs. Done means Besu can run without the port-occupied failure and the required unsupported-operation warnings are addressed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We want to support the execution layer client Besu.

We seem to require suport for SO_REUSEADDR, as Besu incorrectly claims that the port is already occupied. Furthermore, there are more warnings logged by shadow:
