Admin client notes users portnumbers not 1352 why?

When I look on the Admin client, server\status\notes users, I can see that the users connect over tcpip and their IP address but they connect on different port names. Why? Even the servers are connecting on different port names. Why?

This sounds like basic TCP/IP knowledge.

When a client connects to a Domino server, it uses the target port 1352. The source port, which the server will respond to, is randomly chosen on the client.

When a server connects to another server, it also uses the target port 1352, but the source port is randomly chosen here as well.

Is it possible to limit the client to used only one port number (without select randomly) to communicate with the server?

Ah Thanks for that . Sorry my TCPIP knowledge is a bit low.
