Hi Steve,
A new connection can reuse a local port if one of destination port, destination address
or source address differs from an existing connection.
This optimization for port reuse was added in kernel in
commit 19b752a19dce ("IB/cma: Allow port reuse for rdma_id")
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9499071/
We saw the port-mapper "duplicate mapping error" during Open MPI scale up testing.
