In a sense, this is what IPv6 with privacy extensions enabled would accomplish: 64 extra bits of randomness, and as every connection uses a different IP the port number can also be fully randomised without risk of collisions.

We'd still need this algorithm though because IPv4 isn't going away any time soon.
