Hi Brian

            When an ASP(IPSP) receive an DOWN message when it is in
ACTIVE/INACTIVE state, it changes its state to DOWN, responds with DOWN Ack
and try to initiate the procedures to return itself to
ACTIVE/INACTIVE(management requested state). But the peer requested for DOWN
and now ASP reinitiate procedures to return to ACTIVE/INACTIVE. By this the
peer again become ACTIVE/INACTIVE. Now the effort of peer in making the ASP
DOWN went in vein, as it is now becoming ACTIVE/INACTIVE. So is this
re-initiation not a hinderance to the peer ?

 

In case if the peers Management requested state is DOWN, then it may return
back an ERROR "refused mgmt blocking". Then once ASP receives this ERROR it
should not do this re-initiation procedures. Is it correct ? 

 

Then always the lowest of the Management requested state at both sides, can
only be the state of the ASP at any instance. Is it correct?
