      General tcp/ip question using pdl mlacknak.

      If sending/writing over socket 2600 to appA…..is the ack from appA  received over the same socket ?Someone told me yesterday, “….

      The ACKs come over random ports, but use a stateful connection.  They are not sent over a specific port or set of ports. that acks are received over”

      😕

      Can someone confirm this and or explain ?
