Include multi-port example in readme?

I think a standard usecase for etd is multiple simultaneous transfers. In this case, multiple ports are needed. I think it would be nice to show how to set up say 5 ports available on the etd side.

For the intended use case - "multiple simultaneous transfers" - you don't need multiple ports! That was the whole point of doing things different (i.e. better) compared to, say, a 2 x jive5ab + m5copy approach.

etd does allow multiple parallel transfers over a single command and single data port, like a proper client/server application should. The multiple data channels are there to simultaneously support different protocols (IPv4 and IPv6, tcp and udt, ...) and/or using specific protocol(s) on specific interfaces and never the amount of parallel transfers.

Ahaaaa! Great stuff! Maybe clarify this with another sentence then, to ensure other silly users like me won't ask again? :)
