Hi All,



I would request you to clarify regarding the IPSP D.E mode behavior for
ASPTM messages without RC.



According to M3UA RFC 4666 section 4.3.1 last paragraph :

“ASPTM messages.  When sending ASPTM messages to activate/deactivate

     all the traffic independently of routing keys by not specifying any

     RC, a single exchange could be sufficient.”



A single exchange of ASPTM messages without RC sufficient to
activate/deactivate the traffic.  Whereas the diagram in section 5.6.2.
double exchange it looks, even if RC is optional, double exchange of ASPAC
messages are required.



               IPSP-A                           IPSP-B

                 |                                |

                 |<-------------ASP Up------------|

                 |-----------ASP Up Ack---------->|

                 |                                |

                 |-------------ASP Up------------>|  (optional)

                 |<----------ASP Up Ack-----------|  (optional)

                 |                                |

                 |<------- ASP Active(RCb)--------|  RC: Routing Context

                 |-----ASP Active Ack (RCb)------>|      (optional)

                 |                                |

                 |------- ASP Active(RCa)-------->|  RC: Routing Context

                 |<-----ASP Active Ack (RCa)------|      (optional)

                 |                                |

                 |<=========  DATA (RCa) =========|

                 |==========  DATA (RCb) ========>|

                 |                                |

                 |<-----ASP Inactive (RCb)--------|  RC: Routing Context

                 |----ASP Inactive Ack (RCb)----->|

                 |                                |

                 |------ASP Inactive (RCa)------->|  RC: Routing Context

                 |<----ASP Inactive Ack (RCa)-----|

                 |                                |

                 |<-----------ASP Down------------|

                 |---------ASP Down Ack---------->|

                 |                                |

                 |------------ASP Down----------->|  (optional)

                 |<--------ASP Down Ack-----------|  (optional)

                 |                                |



Both section are seems to be contradictory.  I would request you to clarify
the behavior for ASPAC/ASPIA messages without RC for IPSP Double exchange
mode. Whether single exchange of ASPTM messages or double exchange of ASPTM
messages are required to acivate/deactivate the traffic with out RC.
