+Package tcplisten provides customizable TCP net.Listener with various
+performance-related options:
+
+ * SO_REUSEPORT. This option allows linear scaling server performance
+   on multi-CPU servers.
+   See https://www.nginx.com/blog/socket-sharding-nginx-release-1-9-1/ for details.
+
+ * TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT. This option expects the server reads from the accepted
+   connection before writing to them.
+
+ * TCP_FASTOPEN. See https://lwn.net/Articles/508865/ for details.
+
+
+[Documentation](https://godoc.org/github.com/valyala/tcplisten).
+
+The package is derived from [go_reuseport](https://github.com/kavu/go_reuseport).
