Re: SG view of the ASP

Ilie,

It is also in RFC 3331:

   Note: The ASP Identifier MUST be used where the SGP cannot
         identify the ASP by pre-configured address/port number
         information (e.g., where an ASP is resident on a Host using
         dynamic address/port number assignment).

Also, the following statement is in all three (including rfc3057bis):

      ASP Identifier Required                0xe
      Invalid ASP Identifier                 0xf

   The "ASP Identifier Required" is sent by a SGP in response to an
   ASPUP message which does not contain an ASP Identifier parameter when
   the SGP requires one.  The ASP SHOULD resend the ASPUP message with
   an ASP Identifier.

   The "Invalid ASP Identifier" is sent by a SGP in response to an ASPUP
   message with an invalid (i.e. non-unique) ASP Identifier.
