As Eric already answered: yes, the request and reply are specified such
that they must be transmitted over the same socket.

For more details, you can find the protocol specification at
https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/blob/master/doc/proto.md

Please note that the protocol defined there has some options that are
not currently supported by the Linux nbd implementation -- specifically
the "structured reply" message format (and all that requires it) is not
implemented (yet?).
