Re: [pcp] draft-ietf-pcp-proxy-01

Dear Cathy,

Apologies for the delay to answer this message. 

I wonder whether your case isn't covered in this text (Section 9); especially the last sentence:

   Upon receipt of an unsolicited ANNOUNCE response from a PCP Server,
   the PCP Proxy proceeds to renewing the mappings and checks whether
   there are changes compared to a local cache if it is maintained by
   the PCP Proxy.  If no change is detected, no unsolicited ANNOUNCE is
   generated towards PCP Clients.  If a change is detected, the PCP
   Proxy MUST generate unsolicited ANNOUNCE message(s) to appropriate
   PCP Clients.  If the PCP Proxy does not maintain a local cache for
   the mappings, unsolicited ANNOUNCE messages are relayed to PCP
   Clients.

If not, please let me know what change you want to see added to that text. Thanks.

Cheers,
Med
