N. %J High Energy Physics - Phenomenology %D 2008 %I %X We discuss the effect of infrared soft gluons on the asymptotic behaviour of the total cross-section. We use a singular but integrable expression for the strong coupling constant in the infrared limit and relate its behaviour to the satisfaction of the Froissart bound, giving a specific phenomenological example. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0807.3826
