NW 25 - Handing Off TCP Connections to a Different Port (14-May-96)
Q I'm implementing a passive TCP connection and would like to know whether this
connection can hand off the connection to a different port address?
A No, the hand-off connection endpoint must be bound to the same address as the
endpoint which passed off the connection. This is an XTI requirement as
discussed in Appendix B of the XTI specification, Section B.3.
