  • A TCP session is a unique combination of client IP, client port, server IP, and server port.

    So you can use the same IP and port as long as the destination is a different IP or port.

    This means that in principle you could use the same IP and port to connect to every IP address on the Internet using 65536 concurrent sessions. 😆

    This wouldn’t help going to popular destinations, since they have a lot of people going to the same IP address and port, but for many (most?) of them you probably have some sort of CDN servers in your data centers anyway.
