When acting like an SGP, the peer IPSP can distribute traffic in accordance with the way that an ASP distributes messages to the SGP that make up an SG. The SE-IPSP acting in SGP mode does not require an "ASP Traffic Mode". Traffic Mode (the parameter) is an ASP concept. Is is only useful to an SE-IPSP in so much as the SE-IPSP is behaving like an ASP. In SE mode, it was never intended that both sides behave like an ASP at the same time. That is DE mode. --brian -- Brian F. G. Bidulock [email protected] http://www.openss7.org/
