Aditya,

3.7.2 ASP Active Acknowledgement (ASP Active Ack)

   The format of the Traffic Mode Type and Routing Context parameters is
   the same as for the ASP Active message. (See Section 3.7.1).

3.7.1 ASP Active

   Traffic Mode Type: 32-bit (unsigned integer)

      The Traffic Mode Type parameter identifies the traffic mode of
      operation of the ASP within an AS.  The valid values for Traffic
      Mode Type are shown in the following table:

         1         Override
         2         Loadshare
         3         Broadcast

3.8.1  Error

   The "Unsupported Traffic Mode Type" error is sent by a SGP if an ASP
   sends an ASP Active message with an unsupported Traffic Mode Type or
   a Traffic Mode Type that is inconsistent with the presently
   configured mode for the Application Server.  An example would be a
   case in which the SGP did not support loadsharing.

4.3.4.3 ASP Active Procedures

   For the Application Servers that the ASP can be successfully
   activated, the SGP or IPSP responds with one or more ASP Active Ack
   messages, including the associated Routing Context(s) and reflecting
   any Traffic Mode Type value present in the related ASP Active
   message. The Routing Context parameter MUST be included in the ASP
   Active Ack message(s) if the received ASP Active message contained
   any Routing Contexts.  Depending on any Traffic Mode Type request in
   the ASP Active message, or local configuration data if there is no
   request, the SGP moves the ASP to the correct ASP traffic state
   within the associated Application Server(s).  Layer Management is
   informed with an M-ASP_Active indication. If the SGP or IPSP receives
   any Data messages before an ASP Active message is received, the SGP
   or IPSP MAY discard them.  By sending an ASP Active Ack message, the
   SGP or IPSP is now ready to receive and send traffic for the related


If the SGP is responding with Override when told Loadshare, it must be
doing so by configuration data, which is incorrect: configuration data
is used when there is no Traffic Mode Type in the ASP Active.  (Check
that the Traffic Mode Type parameter is indeed encoded and decoded
correctly.  If the SGP does not "see" the TMT in the ASP Active, due
to an encoding or decoding error, that might explain its behaviour.)
