Re: query regarding ASP Identifier in ASP UP ACK .

moharana_p,

I agree with David to an extent.

See RFC 4666/3.8.2:

      If the Status Type is Other, then the following Status Information
      values are defined:

         1    Insufficient ASP Resources Active in AS
         2    Alternate ASP Active
         3    ASP Failure

      These notifications are not based on the SGP reporting the state
      change of an ASP or AS.  In the Insufficient ASP Resources case,
      the SGP is indicating to an ASP_INACTIVE ASP in the AS that
      another ASP is required to handle the load of the AS (Loadsharing
      or Broadcast mode).  For the Alternate ASP Active case, an ASP is
      informed when an alternate ASP transitions to the ASP-ACTIVE state
      in Override mode.  The ASP Identifier (if available) of the
      Alternate ASP MUST be placed in the message.  For the ASP Failure
      case, the SGP is indicating to ASPs in the AS that one of the
      ASPs has failed.  The ASP Identifier (if available) of the failed
      ASP MUST be placed in the message.

I think that is quite clear.  The ASP Id used is that of the failed
or alternate ASP (not the sending ASP).
