title: What limits the number of connections for a TCP port?
body: <p>Lets say I have an application that is going to listen on a particular TCP port for a connection. Is there a theoretical limit on the number of connections that can be handled in the same port?</p>
  
  <p>Or is there only a practical limit based on the OS and other properties?</p>
  
  <p>I've searched the Internet but couldn't find a conclusive answer.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
