i cannot find this information

Yes. It can serve multiple clients. Multiple tcpclientsrc can connect to the same tcpserversink.

With gst-inspect-1.0 tcpserversink you can see

  num-handles         : The current number of client handles
                        flags: readable
                        Unsigned Integer. Range: 0 - 4294967295 Default: 0

And

Element Signals:

  "client-added" :  void user_function (GstElement * object,
                                        GObject * arg0,
                                        gpointer user_data);

  "client-removed" :  void user_function (GstElement * object,
                                          GSocket * arg0,
                                          GstMultiHandleSinkClientStatus arg1,
                                          gpointer user_data);

The tool gst-inspect-1.0 often has more information about an element than what’s available online at tcpserversink

And of course you can verify it by setting up two pipelines, a server and a client, and running multiple instances of the client pipeline.

You can also find more details by looking at it’s base class documentation MultiSocketSink.
