Does it? I though it is possible to only have 64k of working sockets per
device in TCP.

Where does this limit come from?

You think there is something magic about 64K local ports,
but if remote IP addresses in the TCP socket IDs are all
different, number of possible TCP sockets is only limited
by "number of client IPs * 64K" and ram :-)
