RE: DRN and TID Label Issues - Issue #2

Brian,

Again, I don't believe Broadcast mode is relevant to TID routing.  It
seemed obvious to me.  If you feel it is necessary to specify this in
the IG, please indicate and I'm sure we can all agree on some wording.

Regards,
Lincoln

Subject: DRN and TID Label Issues - Issue #2

Lincoln,

RFC 3868 says:

4.1.1.  Receipt of Primitives from SCCP

   ...
   corresponding SCTP association.  If more than one ASP is in the ASP-
   ACTIVE state (i.e., traffic is to be load-shared across more than one
   ASP), one of the ASPs in the ASP_ACTIVE state is selected from the
   list.  If the ASPs are in Broadcast Mode, all active ASPs will be
   selected and the message sent to each of the active ASPs.  The
   selection algorithm is implementation dependent but could, for
   example, be round robin or based on the SLS.  The appropriate
   selection algorithm must be chosen carefully as it is dependent on
   application assumptions and understanding of the degree of state
   coordination between the ASP_ACTIVE ASPs in the AS.

These last to sentences are in conflict with the use of DRN/TID label.
