Hello Brian,

could you please provide your thoughts on the scenario earlier explained?
re-produced just for clarification...

My doubt is if the following scenario is correct in Double Exchange mode-

  IPSP
A
IPSP B
LAS1 RC=100
RAS1 RC=300
       ----------
LASP1
------------ RASP1
LAS2  RC=200
       ---------- LASP1

   INIT
--------------------------------------------------------------->

<---------------------------------------------------------------- INIT_ACK
   COOKIE_ECHO
-------------------------------------------------------------->

<---------------------------------------------------------------- COOKIE_ACK

<----------------------------------------------------------------   ASPUP
    ASPUP_ACK
--------------------------------------------------------------->

<----------------------------------------------------------------   ASPAC
(without RC)
    ASPAC_ACK
---------------------------------------------------------------->

*IPSP A marks LAS1, LAS2, RAS1, LASP1 and RASP1 as ACTIVE in its stack after
receiving ASPAC without any RC, similarly after receiving ASPAC_ACK IPSP B
will mark LAS1, LAS2, RAS1, LASP1 and RASP1 as ACTIVE in its stack*. *And
Hence there is no need for sending ASPAC from IPSP A*.
