Most definitely not recommended. The re-use of existing TCP connections is encouraged for scalability.

The user-agent keeps this TCP socket open for the duration of the call. At the end of the call, the user-agent user hangs up and so the user-agent sends a BYE using the same original TCP connection. This is OK isn't it? The server does see the BYE. The server makers complain that the user-agent should drop the original TCP and open up a new one to send the BYE. Is this really necessary? What's wrong with using the original TCP connection?
