This is what ipp looks like in my /etc/services:

ipp             631/tcp                         # Internet Printing Protocol
ipp             631/udp                         # Internet Printing Protocol


UDP = User Datagram Protocol. 

"The User Datagram Protocol provides a low-overhead transport service
for application protocols that do not need (or cannot use) the
connection-oriented services offered by TCP. UDP is most often used
with applications that make heavy use of broadcasts or multicasts, as
well as applications that need fast turnaround times on lookups and
queries." 

--- "Internet Core Protocols" by Eric Hall

If you want more information on UDP, use Google (2,280,000 hits) or read
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0768.txt and rfc1122.txt.
