IIRC you can try SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress...

Thank you very much Vadym Stetsyak,
Can you  please tell me what SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress actually does.

Hello, Zeeshan!

As the doc says "ReuseAddress : Allows the socket to be bound to an address that is already in use.".
It means that you can bind the socket to the address that is already used by another socket. ( that is why it can help with TIME_WAIT situations )

However, you should be cautios about using this option. Because this can inroduce problems when your sever has multiple IPs. The best solution here is to bind sockets to specific IPs and to use IpAddress.Any.
