Brian Carpenter and I are pleased to report that we have successfully tested communication between two ASAs that are not sharing a link.
ASA Gray ASA Briggs GRASP ------X------ GRASP ------X------ GRASP (Gingko) (Ritchie) (Iverson) Gingko, Richie, and Iverson are three Linux processors. ASA Briggs is installed on Iverson, and offers a variety of products. ASA Gray is installed on Gingko, and seeks to discover a source for these products. GRASP is installed on all three machines, and provides the necessary discovery forwarding. In the absence of an ACP, I have manually assigned IPv6 Unique Local Addresses (ULAs) to each interface, and manually installed the necessary routes. (These tasks would be part of the functionality of an ACP, once one gets developed.) Once this is done, ASA Gray is able to discover (through GRASP) that ASA Briggs is offering the necessary products, and then negotiate directly with ASA Briggs (i.e., using ASA Briggs' IPv6 ULA) to acquire these products. In the process, some small errors in the specification of GRASP have been found, and resolved in the latest Internet Draft.
