--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone clarify what's going on here between MTA 400 (version 1.4) 
and the Peer MTA?

I took both a transport trace and a trace of the upper layers (see below): 
as far as I can understand we are claiming that something is missed in the 
received AC-SPDU, but on the other hand the received AB-SPDU seems to i
ndicate that the peer mta was expecting an ARU/ARP-PPDU that we didn't send 
(that probably we never sent do the error detected in the first AC-SPDU 
received).

The manager of the peer mta is telling me that the process managing
the RTS on his machine dies several times a day, but it's not clear
if this is the cause that fires the problem.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

giovanni

Actually that's not the case.  OSAKTRACE is claiming that it didn't see a
CN-SPDU (which it didn't), so consequently it cannot verify certain aspects of
the AC-SPDU that we sent, and it is not maintaining a DCS because of this (or at
least not an accurate one).  This would appear to be a result of a connection
which was "handed off" - probably the MTA listener saw the inbound CN-SPDU and
forked off a child to handle the request; the child didn't enable tracing until
right before it sent the AC-SPDU; if the child had enabled tracing earlier, the
trace would have picked up the CN-SPDU that was re-directed to the child.  So
this isn't really a problem, just an anomoly in the way the child started
tracing the connection.

Beyond that, I don't remember enough about X.400 protocol to tell you what is
normally supposed to happen after the association is established.  I can tell
you that the other implementation sent an Activity Start and then sent the Abort
(we didn't initiate the abort).  You're going to have to query the other side to
see why they decided to abort the association.

    Thanks Scott, I was actually looking for a confirmation that the other side
    was releasing the association.
