Paresh, Vncserver doesn't know that the client is waiting - it just tries to connect when you tell it to and provide it with the viewer's name or IP address. *You* know as a user, because you set the viewer up previously (or someone else did and told you).
The term vncserver can be a little confusing regarding a reverse connection, because in actual fact it is vncviewer that serves the TCP port for receiving connections; vncserver is the client in this respect. This is why a different port number is used, even though exactly the same protocol is used - the messages are going in the opposite direction with respect to the client/server relationship.
