It's not always the case in Linux.
In the file
linux-2.6.22.3/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
We read :
-----
ip_local_port_range - 2 INTEGERS
Defines the local port range that is used by
TCP and UDP to
choose the local port. The first number is the
first, the
second the last local port number. Default
value depends on
amount of memory available on the system:
> 128Mb 32768-61000
< 128Mb 1024-4999 or even less.
-----
In any case, Wireshark must work with real systems not
only ideal systems.
