Re: Is it possible to make all the associations ACTIVE at a time at M3UA level ?

Hi,
   
  isn't this case with multiple associations between two processes?
  I did not understand what "active association" means. 
   
  I understood that ASP UP is related to Application Process states - here we have one M3UA ASP (or IPSP) activating on SGP (another IPSP)?
  SCTP is transport, so those associations can be established or down.
   
  Why would you send 4 ASP Up messages, and how SGP would react on those
  4 ASP Up messages, say, carrying identical ASP ID?
   
  thanks.
  Best regards, Dario

Yes. ASP Up.

Your implementation might not support this arrangement. Only one association
active at the M3UA level is permitted between a given SGP and ASP. So, in
your case, either the one host must support multiple SGP per host, or the
other host must support multiple ASPs per host.
