I'm confused. If there are 20M clients and the server is sending 9M messages per minute, doesn't that mean that each client is sending less than 1 message per minute?

Not 20M, but 2M fully loaded sockets... about 1 message per 13sec per Connection

I might of missed it, but didn’t see in the article any mention of multiple IPs or NICs isn’t the theoretical maximum 65k ports per IP?

No, the tuple includes source ip and port as well.
