Hi Brian,

I understand this - if these were multiple signalling processes (either 4
ASPs and one SGP, or one ASP with 4 SGP/SGs or combination of four
signalling process pairs, they'd work separately
(communication between redundant processes - either ASPs or SGPs is out of
the RFC scope).

However how would this work with just single processes?
I understood that multiple SCTP associations between two processes are not
recommended,
however standards do not forbid such configuration.

thanks!
Best regards, Dario
