Re: [M3UA] IPSP receiving ASP ACTIVE Ack

Krishnan,
  As per section 3.7.2 of RFC 4666:
     "The ASP Active Ack message is used to acknowledge an ASP Active
message received from a remote M3UA peer"
So, I am not sure in which case peer would send a ASP-Active-Ack without
receiving an ASP-Active message.

ASP Active message is sent to remote peer with the intention that our node
is now ready to handle traffic for a particular AS. Now if we change our ASP
state to ASP Active after receiving an unknown ASP-Active-Ack message, it
could result in data loss because our node may not be ready to receive
traffic for that particular AS.

Regards,
Ankit Kumar Sharma
