Difference between UDP socket and TCP socket number of connections
Since UDP sockets are identified by (dst IP, dst Port), is it correct to assume that a client can only send packets through one UDP socket to a particular application process ( assuming the application process uses one port ) running on the server side ? Whereas in TCP, because TCP sockets can be identified by (src IP , src port , dst IP , dst port ), there can be multiple TCP connections to the same dst port on the server side, with each TCP socket on the client side using a different source port. Hope this question doesnt sound weird.

The number of connections would certainly be different because UDP does not use connections, and it it will always have no connections, but TCP only uses connections. See this answer.

I think that is basically correct. I'm not sure if there is a practical difference though.
