That means this benchmark is useless right?

In real world there will be more client IPs and the host will be listening on 1 IPv4 on 1 port.

That would depend on if it matters to the WebSocket server if connections are from one or multiple IPs. In this case I would not think that there's any difference as far as the WS library is concerned. Maybe it has some effect on the OS kernel's networking routines, but I would not expect it to be big.
