RE: DRN and TID Issues - Issue #4

Brian,

Yes, I agree.  The algorithm is implementation dependent.  If based upon
all the registration parameters and (if used) TID or DRN routing.

Subject: [Sigtran] DRN and TID Issues - Issue #4

Lincoln,

RFC 3868 says:

4.3.4.3.  ASP Active Procedures

   ...

   In the case of a Loadshare mode AS, reception of an ASP Active
   message at an SGP or IPSP causes the direction of traffic to the ASP
   sending the ASP Active message, in addition to all the other ASPs
   that are currently active in the AS.  The algorithm at the SGP for
   loadsharing traffic within an AS to all the active ASPs is
   implementation dependent.  The algorithm could, for example, be round
   robin or based on information in the Data message (e.g., the SLS or
   SSN).

This paragraph is inconsistent with the application of DRN/TID label.
It tells me that the algorithm for loadsharing is implementation
dependent.
