[Freeswitch-users] clean UDP sockets

[Steven Ayre]

It's normal for the kernel to hold onto a port for a while after it's been
closed.

I believe it's so that you don't get another program grabbing the port
number and receiving data that was meant for the first program. Partly
that's good for security, and partly it stops the program getting data not
meant for it which may confuse it.
