If I'm reading this correctly, won't it produce a number between 0 - 100? Does it matter if multiple ports land on the same number?

Correct. If two pods conflict on the port then K8s will be forced to schedule the two pods on different VMs. The current behaviour is that all pods use the same port (40400) so no two pods can be scheduled on the same VM

Use random P2P announce ports so that K8s may schedule pods on the same physical hardware
