[TOLGA]I wouldn't use a very strong language like "correct/incorrect"
considering the advisory nature of NTFYs but for the scenario you described,
it does not make sense to me IPSP2 to send NTFY(AS-PENDING), because it was
IPSP2 which has issued the ASPIAC -probably due to an operator activity-.
OTOH, sending it wouldn't be wrong either, it probably would trigger ASPAC
to be sent from IPSP1 to IPSP2 and IPSP2 wouldn't reply back ASPAC-ACK -it
probably would send ERR(ManagementBlocking)-
