By using exact inclusive sum rules we infer that the growth with energy of the total pp cross section is connected with the mechanism which is responsible for the appearance of a sharp peak near the kinematical boundary in the process p + p → p + anything. Here we discuss this mechanism in the context of Regge models and suggest tests of this idea which involve K+p scattering experiments.
