Comment on How does a game server differentiate between multiple clients on the same network? Do they even?

There’s two ports involved, the client port and the server port. Multiple clients with different client ports and the same ip can connect to the same server port, but they can’t reuse the same client side port.
The client port is usually randomly chosen by the OS networking stack, between 1024-65536.
