This practical considerations holds for any IPP operations, not just
Get-Notifications. However, it is particularly important for IPPGET, since
a client is likely to use persistent HTTP connections for a polled
Get-Notifications and MUST use persistent HTTP persistent connections for
Event Wait Mode Get-Notifications.
RFC 2616 "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1" says:
8.1 Persistent Connections
8.1.4 Practical Considerations
Clients that use persistent connections SHOULD limit the number of
simultaneous connections that they maintain to a given server. A
single-user client SHOULD NOT maintain more than 2 connections with
any server or proxy.
We may want to add some sort of reference to the HTTP standard about
persistent connections in the IPPGET Transport and Encoding section, OK?
