Socket Sharding in Nginx Release 1.9.1

In nginx worker processes don't open and don't close sockets. They inherit them from the master process.

But isn't that what reuseport changes? Each worker opening it's own socket?

No, they don't (and they can't, since they usually don't have such privileges). The master process opens all sockets for each worker process.
