Re: M3UA notify message

hi ,
I think i had not explained my questions clearly . I am trying to explain
them again .

Please have a look at the diagram :-

-----------                 -----------
SGP1                         SGP2
---|--------                ----|--------
    |                                  |
    |                                  |
    |                                  |
    |                                  |
    |                                  |
------------               ----------
ASP1                        ASP2
------------               -----------

In this diagram, SGP1 and SGP2 are both part of SG1. ASP1 and ASP2 are part
of AS1.

ASP1 has made sctp associatiion with SGP1 only .
ASP2 has made sctp association with  SGP2 only.
AS is in override mode.

ASP1 is INACTIVE at SGP1 and ASP2 is INACTIVE at SGP2.

1. Now, if ASP1 sends ASP ACTIVE message to SGP1 . will SGP2 be sending
notify for AS ACTIVE to ASP2.

2. If yes, now suppose ASP2 sends ACTIVE to SGP2 .
    Should Alternate ASP active notify be given to ASP1.
    If yes , in earlier discussions we have observed that Notify should be
done per SGP and not SG.

3. To add further ,   ASPSM, ASPTM, SSNM/SPMC ,notify messages be considered
per SG  or per SGP.

4. The question 4 that i had written in previous mail , i am explaining
again.
In that question I was not very clear in saying that n+k was for SGP or SG.

Actually what i want to ask is that ..............n+k is per SG or per SGP.

For example :- suppose 2+1 architecture is there . Now SG has two SGP's and
AS has two ASP's.
ASP1 is active on SGP1 and ASP2 is active on SGP2.
Since in this case total number of active ASP's is two , we should consider
AS to be active at SG.

                OR
suppose ASP1 and ASP2 are both active on SGP1 but none of them is on SGP2.
So in that case also
the number of ASP's active is two. Should we consider AS active at SG in
this case .

Which of the above two cases is valid or both.
