The only valid use for NFT I can think of is a pure vehicle for financial speculation. It's better people do wild speculation on NFTs than housing market.

Is there any restrictions on this option? Eg only children of the same parent process are allowed to bind to same port. Otherwise how does the packet distribution work? And how does the response from that port work?
