We are in the process of moving to the new release of the stack provided by
our vendor (right now, the stack uses M3UA in accordance with RFC 3332).

For purely academic purposes, I guess that here too "Notify (AS-ACTIVE)"
would be sent to all the ASPs (as per your reply to my second query, and
RFC-3332 also has the same "Notify Procedures")?
