Re: Should ASAP be splitted?

Hi, Manuel,

I think you have raised a quite interesting point. But to further split
ASAP seems not a good idea, since we already see the difficult for
people to have to read two documents (ENRP and ASAP) at the same time in
order to under RSERPOOL operations. This is because they are tightly
related. Further split of ASAP will make this even harder.

We may be able to achieve the same thing you described by asking for two
separate ports for PU and PE. Just a though.
