That is why it is always a good idea to disallow the ephemeral port number range (1024-4999) for your own server application port otherwise you can get occasional EADDRINUSE situations.

Subject: Re: Final Confusions on Concurrent Server

Multiple concurrent connections between a client and server are

achieved by use of so-called "ephemeral ports" at the client end.



The port number at the server end is predetermined and fixed so

that a client always knows where it has to connect to.



It is not necessary that the port number at the client end be

known ahead of time since no one needs to connect to it.

Rather, a server needs to respond to it and knows what it is

from the connection request.

Here are my Final Conclusions These can only be one Active
Conversation

between a Client and Server on a port (if its between two different

machines)



If the client is using multiple port numbers then it should be able
to

sustain multiple conversations with a single server. TCP/IP does not
allow

concurrent multiple conversations between a single src-IP:port
dst-IP port

pair.



Actually, technically speaking, TCP/IP has no concept of a conversation.

TCP/IP provides a reliable point to point connection over which you
can have

as many conversations as you want.
