Yes, port addresses need to be unique within a specific host to ensure proper communication between applications and services. Each port address identifies a specific process or service, allowing multiple applications to run simultaneously without interference. If port addresses were not unique, data packets could be misrouted, leading to confusion and collisions in network communication.

How many IP addresses would be needed to assign a unique IP address at US?

To assign a unique IP address to every person in the United States, we would need approximately 331 million unique IP addresses, based on the estimated population. However, since IP addresses can be assigned to devices rather than individuals, the total number of required addresses might be higher, considering the increasing number of internet-connected devices per person. IPv4, which allows for about 4.3 billion addresses, would suffice for this purpose, but transitioning to IPv6, which provides a virtually limitless number of addresses, is essential for future scalability.

What is unique about network IP addresses?

An IP address must be unique within a LAN; the combination of the network and host portion must present a number that is not duplicated anywhere else in the network. Outside of a LAN the IP addresses do not have to be unique, except that the network id portion can only be used by the organization that owns the IP network address. The host portion does not need to be unique across all LANs within an enterprise network.
