How is a socket id assignned?

I'm working with SServer3 and SClient3 from "Who Knew...
RPGIV?"

I'm seeing that both SServer3 and SClient3 are creating
socket 3. In SServer3 the socket 3 is listening for clients.
In SClient3 socket 3 is communicating to socket 4 in
SServer3 once accepted.

I did some playing around because I thought socket 3 and
socket 4 meant something to one another, but found out
differently.

Once socket 3 was created in SClient3 I wrote to it and
closed it. I then repeated this three or four times while
SServer3 was in debug and sitting on an instruction. I
started stepping through SServer3 at this point and found
that socket 3 alternated communicationg to socket 4 and
socket 5 in SServer3.

I guess socket ids don't mean much. They just go get ports.

Right?
