DUNA applies to SG as a whole

Hello Folks Let's consider an SG with multiple SGPs. RFC 3868 says (1.2.2. Terminology) Where an SG contains more than one SGP, the SG is a logical entity and the contained SGPs are assumed to be coordinated into a single management view to the SS7 network and to the supported Application Servers. I interpret this statement so that SGPs of the same SG have identical connectivity to SS7 NW, in particular DUNA, DAVA messages sent from one SGP apply to all SGPs of this SG. Thus if an SGP sends a DUNA to an ASP, the ASP assumes that Affected SPC is unavailable through the SG, and this applies to all SGPs in the SG. section 3.4.1. of SUA RFC says 3.4.1. Destination Unavailable (DUNA) The DUNA message is sent from the SG or relay node to all concerned ASPs (servicing SCCP-users considered local to the SG or relay node, see chapter 1.3.1.1), when a destination or SCCP-user has become unreachable. The SUA-User at the ASP is expected to stop traffic to the affected destination or SCCP-user through the SG or relay node initiating the DUNA. Here SG is mentioned. Thus in case of multiple SGPs DUNA applies to SG as a whole. The same is valid for DUPU, and DAVA. Is this reading of the RFC statements correct? thank you in advance -- Ilie
