For me, it is a bit strange "localhost" is on both sides.
Port numbers: the side, which initiates connection, must
get free port from some pool, and usually it gets ports
from 1000 (or 1024?) and the number grows on every connect.
On the second side, port number is defined by the service
available at it (e.g. port 23=TELNET, port 25=SMTP).
A specification of protocol, and two host-port pairs is
full specification of a connection, and must be unique.
Therefore client uses different port on each connection.
