3.1.1.3.4 FreeTipConnection Operation
The FreeTipConnection operation is called when a TIP transaction manager facet no longer requires the TIP connection. The input parameter for this MUST be a TIP connection object. The TIP connection manager MUST perform the following actions:
If the TIP connection object's Enlistment field references an enlistment object, clear the enlistment object's TIP Connection field.
If the TIP connection manager initiated the TCP connection corresponding to the TIP connection, it SHOULD reuse it as specified in [RFC2371] section 4.
