Subject: M3UA, SUA, M2UA optional procedures

Dear all,

for my understanding the dynamic registration procedure is an optional procedure.

If yes: I propose to state this explicitly in the procedure and the message description to enhance readability and to aid understanding (e.g. like it is done in the heartbeat procedure). 

in 3.6 Registration Messages
3.6.1 Registration Request (REG REQ)

"The REG REQ message is optionally sent by an ASP to indicate to a remote M3UA peerthat it wishes to register one or more given Routing Keys with the remote peer. Typically, an ASP would send this message to an SGP, and expects to receive a REG RSP message in return with an associated Routing Context value."

In 4.2.4 Routing Key Management Procedures
4.2.4.1 Registration

An ASP MAY optionally dynamically register with an SGP as an ASP within an Application Server using the REG REQ message. A Routing Key parameter in the REG REQ message specifies the parameters associated with the Routing Key. 

Furthermore I propose to check for other procedures which are optional and not yet explicitly marked so.

Best regards

Joachim Pötzl
