 * Type: {boolean} Whether the request is sent through a reused socket.
 
-When sending request through a keep-alive enabled agent, the underlying socket
-might be reused. But if server closes connection at unfortunate time, client
-may run into a 'ECONNRESET' error.
+When sending a request through a keep-alive-enabled agent, the underlying socket
+might be reused. If the server closes the connection at the same time that the
+agent reuses it, the request may encounter an `ECONNRESET` error.
+
+The following example sends requests near the server's keep-alive timeout to
+make this race easier to reproduce. It sets
+[`server.keepAliveTimeoutBuffer`][] to `0` so the internal socket timeout
+matches [`server.keepAliveTimeout`][].
 
 ```mjs
 import http from 'node:http';
 const agent = new http.Agent({ keepAlive: true });
-
-// Server has a 5 seconds keep-alive timeout by default
-http
-  .createServer((req, res) => {
+const server = http.createServer(
+  { keepAliveTimeout: 3000, keepAliveTimeoutBuffer: 0 },
+  (req, res) => {
     res.write('hello\n');
     res.end();
-  })
-  .listen(3000);
+  },
+);
+server.listen(3000);
 
 setInterval(() => {
-  // Adapting a keep-alive agent
   http.get('http://localhost:3000', { agent }, (res) => {
-    res.on('data', (data) => {
-      // Do nothing
-    });
+    res.resume();
   });
-}, 5000); // Sending request on 5s interval so it's easy to hit idle timeout
+}, 3000);
 ```
 
 ```cjs
 const http = require('node:http');
 const agent = new http.Agent({ keepAlive: true });

-By marking a request whether it reused socket or not, we can do
-automatic error retry base on it.
+By checking `request.reusedSocket`, an application can retry idempotent requests
+that fail because a reused connection was reset.
