Is it possible for Netty to have 2 Pipelines / 2 Channels listening on the same port?

[erb...@gmail.com]

I am wondering if it is possible to have two different ChannelPipeline, getting bootstrapped with the same local port?

The way I set up my pipeline is through ClientBootstrap.connect(remoteAddress). I didn't provide a local port. In this case, I think the OS will manage the local port assignment for me. Is it possible that if I run out of available port or for some other reason, I end up getting two pipelines or two channels listening to the same local port?

If thats possible, and if that local port receives a message, which pipeline will receive & handle that message? Or both pipeline will get notified and handle it?

Thanks!

Its not possible… if you run out of ports the OS will signal an error and so you will get an exception.

By the way, if you have WebSocket or TLS you can setup a protocol
negotiation process at handshake phase. Then you can speak two different
application protocol on same port.
