Ksolves India Limited commented on KAFKA-13453:
-----------------------------------------------

HI [~shershai]
When a message is published to a Kafka topic, the Kafka client (producer) 
establishes a TCP connection to the Kafka broker using the bootstrap server's 
address and port (typically port 9092).

*What is the source port in this TCP connection?*
The source port is assigned dynamically by the operating system of the machine 
running the Kafka client.

This port is typically chosen from the ephemeral (temporary) port range, which 
is a range of ports reserved by the OS for short-lived connections.

If this satisfies your question you can close this ticket

> Is source port slected dynamically or any configuration is present?
