Can multiple IP addresses use the same port?

Can multiple IP addresses use the same port?

Yes, it is completely possible for one network device to have multiple addresses. It’s called “multi-homing”. It is also completely possible for multiple remote IPs to connect to the same local port on the same local IP.

Can I host two servers on the same port?

You cannot open two web servers in the same port (which default is 80), if you desire to make two or more web servers, you have to use different ports.

Can two applications bind to the same port?

Two applications can certainly listen on the same port. But the socket for each connection can not be bound to the same IP address on the same port.

How many ports does IP address have?

65,536 ports
TCP and UDP each support 65,536 ports per IP address, but Cloud NAT doesn’t use the first 1,024 well-known (privileged) ports.

How do I open ports with multiple IP addresses?

Creating the 2nd Rule

1. Click “Add” underneath Port Forward Rules.
2. Name the rule.
3. Put in 3388 -> 3388 for the Internet Ports.
4. Put in the IP of the computer you want the second rule to forward RDP traffic to.
5. Put in Put in 3389 -> 3389 for the Local Ports.
6. Select “TCP & UDP” as the Protocol.
7. Click Save.

Is it possible for both client and server programs to use the same port number?

The client and server don’t need to use the same port. As you pointed out, a port can only be allocated to a single process at a time on a machine. To be more correct, a port and IP address pair is the allocation unit. So if your machine has two addresses or more one can bind the port to different processes per IP.

Can you have multiple servers on the same computer?

You can create more than one server instance on your system. Each server instance has its own instance directory, and database and log directories. If all servers are equally important, use the same value for each server.

How do I run multiple servers on one server?

To have multiple servers running on a single machine, issue the DSMSERV FORMAT command from different directories to create multiple pairs of recovery log and database files. Do not attempt to install the server executable files in more than one directory.

Can multiple threads listening on same port?

Multiple servers (processes or threads) can bind to the same port if they each set the option as follows: With TCP sockets, it allows multiple listening sockets—normally each in a different thread—to be bound to the same port. Each thread can then accept incoming connections on the port by calling accept().

Can an IP address connect to multiple ports on a server?

Infact, any valid IP address can connect to a specified port on a server in parallel. Yes, even simultaneously, upto the limit of connections allowed at a time by the server and connecting internet line bandwidth.

Can two ports have the same source and destination address?

So there is no ambiguity, even though both connections have the same source and destination IP addresses. Ports are a way to multiplex IP addresses so that different applications can listen on the same IP address/protocol pair. Unless an application defines its own higher-level protocol, there is no way to multiplex a port.

What happens if I connect to the same web server twice?

Simply, if I connect to the same web server twice from my client, the two connections will have different source ports from my perspective and destination ports from the web server’s. So there is no ambiguity, even though both connections have the same source and destination IP addresses.

How many applications can I run with two IP addresses?

With two IP addresses, you could have four applications using the same port number (2 addresses, each with the same port number for both UDP and TCP). You seen to think the IP address binds to the port, but it’s the other way around. – Ron Maupin♦ Aug 16 ’15 at 21:44. Thank you for your inputs.
