Thank you for this example. I have looked at my pf logs and found the same.

But correct me if i'm wrong, these tests are in contradiction with what's written in wikipedia.
Quote:
An ephemeral port is a short-lived transport protocol port...used by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), or the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) as the port assignment for the client end of a client–server communication to a well known port on a server...The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) suggests the range 49152 to 65535 for dynamic or private ports.
In you example, in my logs and on my OpenBSD connect to port 21 or 123 with a port between 1024 and 49151.

Isn't it illogical ?
