2^96 is an arithmetic result

If one remote machine (client) connects to a server, fixing local\_ip, local\_port, and remote\_ip leaves only the remote\_port variable. Since the remote\_port range is 16-bit, there are only 2^16 = 65536 possible connections from a single client to a specific server endpoint.
