My TCP is a little rusty (and not really from protocol terminology, but 
rather from Posix/C), but I don't think I need to bind() in order to send, 
but rather connect()? I actually just want to be able to force Node to send 
Data over a specific port of my choice, instead of just connection to a 
port of my choice and then sending the data using something from the 
5XXXX-port-range.

For a problem not related to my algorithm, but having the same root: If 
node always sends TCP-data over 5XXXX but my firewall is set to block any 
communication or another application uses that port range? Then there would 
just be no way to manually change it?
