I don’t have an immediate answer but IP connections are not identified by IP’s. They are
identified by a tuple of {protocol, client IP, client port, server IP, server port}.

Unless Android tries to be smart and reuse ports in their TCP/IP stack implementation,
client ports should be ephemeral (randomly taken from a pool of tens of thousands
available ports).

May I ask how you manage to reconnect from the same device on a different IP?
