Hi,

I would like to know how the Motify messages are treated in the Adaptation
layers like IUA, M3UA etc.

QUESTION 1
**********
Configuration 1: One ASP and One SG
-------------------------------------
ASP is moving from Inactive state to Active state. Now the AS state changes
from AS_INACTIVE to AS_ACTIVE. Will a Notify message be sent by the SG to
this one and only ASP in the Configuration. Will this treatment change
depending on the AS_STATE change also. What I mean is, if the state changes
from Active to Inactive will this ASP(being the last one in the AS) receive
a Notify(AS_PENDING)!!

QUESTION 2
***********
Configuration 2: Two ASP's (ASP1 and ASP2) with One SG:
------------------------------------------------------
ASP 1 : Active
ASP 2 : Inactive

Now ASP1 moves from Active to Inactive due to LM primitives. Will the
Notify(AS_PENDING) message be sent to Both ASP1 and ASP2 serving the SG? or
will it be sent only to ASP2.

QUESTION 3
**********
Will the AS_STATE be maintained in the database by the individual ASP's.

QUESTION 4
**********
Some Stack implementors say that NOTIFY message treatment is optional. Does
this mean that the usage of the Notify itself is optional. If it is so then
how will the ASP's know the AS_state and will act on AS_State changes?

Please do clarify all these questions.

Best Regards,
Sundar.
