    PeerAddr	Remote host address          <hostname>[:<port>]
    PeerHost	Synonym for PeerAddr
    PeerPort	Remote port or service       <service>[(<no>)] | <no>
    LocalAddr	Local host bind	address      hostname[:port]
    LocalHost	Synonym for LocalAddr
    LocalPort	Local host bind	port         <service>[(<no>)] | <no>
    Proto	Protocol name (or number)    "tcp" | "udp" | ...
    Type	Socket type                  SOCK_STREAM | SOCK_DGRAM | ...
    Listen	Queue size for listen
    ReuseAddr	Set SO_REUSEADDR before binding
    Reuse	Set SO_REUSEADDR before binding (deprecated, prefer ReuseAddr)
    ReusePort	Set SO_REUSEPORT before binding
 -->Timeout	Timeout	value for various operations
    MultiHomed  Try all adresses for multi-homed hosts
