OS-X assigns you the range 49152-65535

 As for the getOption, the values for the key and the results is platform
specific, and likely operating system version specific too. However for
platforms that use BSD sockets, ala (Unix/Linux/OS-X) then the keys are in
this table. Obviously if you fiddle with them then you know what you are
doing?


  { "SO_DEBUG", SOL_SOCKET, SO_DEBUG },

  { "SO_REUSEADDR", SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR },

  { "SO_DONTROUTE", SOL_SOCKET, SO_DONTROUTE },

  { "SO_BROADCAST", SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST },

  { "SO_SNDBUF", SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF },

  { "SO_RCVBUF", SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF },

  { "SO_KEEPALIVE", SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE },

  { "SO_OOBINLINE", SOL_SOCKET, SO_OOBINLINE },

  { "SO_LINGER", SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER },

  { "IP_TTL", SOL_IP, IP_TTL },

  { "IP_HDRINCL", SOL_IP, IP_HDRINCL },

  { "IP_MULTICAST_IF", SOL_IP, IP_MULTICAST_IF },

  { "IP_MULTICAST_TTL", SOL_IP, IP_MULTICAST_TTL },

  { "IP_MULTICAST_LOOP", SOL_IP, IP_MULTICAST_LOOP },

#ifdef IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP

  { "IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP", SOL_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP },

  { "IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP", SOL_IP, IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP },

#endif

  { "TCP_MAXSEG", SOL_TCP, TCP_MAXSEG },

  { "TCP_NODELAY", SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY },

#ifdef SO_REUSEPORT

  { "SO_REUSEPORT", SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEPORT },

#endif


 I created a TcpService on port zero, the listening socket gets a port and
