Re: Mandatory/optional RC in ACTIVE/INACTIVE ACK

Hello Ilie,
I believe your point is valid. In ASP Active Ack Message, the Routing Key IE
should have been Optional.

In ASP Active and ASP Inactive, absence of RC, would imply that ASP Active
is meant for all AS served by the ASP.
Section 4.3.4.3 :
*        In the case where an ASP Active message does not contain a Routing
Context parameter, *
*        the receiver must know, via configuration data, which Application
Server(s) the ASP is a member.
*

Similarly in ASP Active Ack and ASP Inactive Ack, absence of RC should imply
that Acknowledgement is meant for all AS served by ASP. (NOTE: Peer SUA
always has the option o sending individual acknowledgements for each RC)
Section 4.3.4.3 :
*        The Routing Context parameter "MUST" be included in the ASP Active
Ack message(s) "if" the*
*        received ASP Active message contained any Routing Contexts. In
ACTIVE and INACTIVE, RC is optional,*
*       would imply that ASP Active is meant for all AS served by the ASP.*

Thus, in case ASP Active didn't contain RC, then MUST clause doesn't apply.
