RE: Is an xxUA SGP capable of serving multiple SGs

Brian,

Good point. "1 SG supporting multiple networks" is an equally valid way to express the idea.

I nevertheless contend that "multiple SGs in an SGP" is a valid concept. I find it an easy way to conceptualize the
setup that I described below, sort of a mirror image of "multiple ASs in an ASP".

Barry,

I would call that 1 SG supporting multiple networks, not an SGP
belonging to multiple SGs.
