There can be simultaneous connections to one port. For example
apache's httpd - it listens port 80, does that mean, it can serve only
one connection? nope. Once connection is established, it's forwarded
to another thread, that have connection id, and processes it.

Don't know about outgoing connections, but i think, they also can be
simultaneous.
