Port identifies a process. Only one process is ever likely to receive
data for the same port.
yes, but not for broadcast or multicast packets, see the kernel code
udp_rcv() in net/ip4/udp.c

Sorry, my mistake.

with SO_REUSEADDR set,

You misunderstand the purpose of SO_REUSEADDR. It is intended for TCP
servers doing active close only. Read man ip(7).

it is also intended for UDP with broadcasting or multicasting.

Could you point me to the source of this information?
