Re: M3UA AS override mode from SGP perspective

Guys, 

Just thought I'd get some further clarification on Mikhail's issue.
I'm still a bit uncertain about what is expected at the SG.

For example, how would the following be fully meshed sencenario be 
handled?

ASP1 has associations to both SGP1 and SGP2.
ASP1 sends ASPUP (using ASP id 1) to both SGPs.
Both SGPs respond accordingly with ASPUP ACKs.
ASP1 sends an ASPAC (Override mode) to SGP1.

Are both SGPs now supposed to consider the ASP active at the AS through 
"intercommunication"?

If ASP1 then sends an ASPAC to SGP2, does he override himself and
cause a NOTIFY(ALT-ASP-ACTIVE) to be sent from SGP1?  Or is the SGP 
supposed to know
that this the same ASP and DATA messages should now be sent from BOTH SGPs 
to
ASP1?

Cheers,

Ben

Hi,

The issue is clear now.
Thank you for the explanations.
