Seems like some people have missed this:
> Obviously, I would prefer another mapping like so:
>> 6. Mapping to TCP socket.
>> To use a TCP connection to transport IPP messages a new port number
> has to be defined. The suggested number to be registered with the IANA
> is NNN. When using this method, an IPP server opens the socket in
> LISTEN mode and a client connects to it with an unused source port in
> the unrestricted range. This socket pair is the unique identifier for
> the connection. Once the connection reaches ESTABLISHED state, it
> transports at least one complete IPP message exchange. One complete
> IPP message exchange is defined by one Request-Message followed by one
> Response-Message. A multi-segment print message is treated as one
> request. After the exchange the TCP connection can be disconnected by
> the server but should stay up to support further transactions. An idle
> timer of NN minutes must be used to terminate the connection if the
> option of keeping it up is used.
