I dont' think so.
Altough you are right a Socket can listen and open multiple connection on one
port (Like a web server on port 80) when the server responds it responds on a
RANDOM port between 1000 and 65000.
You can test this using netstat -a.
So my question remains using MINA and long lived socket connections am i
limited to 65000 long lived socket connections and how can I load balance that.
Although the question is mostly for comprehension sake's I'm curious of the
experience of People using MINA under HEAVY load and how they reacted.
Thanks
