> My other concern is that this puts a lot of extra onus on the agent even for the case where the reporting node does not want to differentiate overload reports.  To this end I suggest we add an indication in the OLR marking the reports that are specific to just the Origin-Host in the request.  Absence of the "single-client-only" AVP would mean that the report applies to all clients.  Presence of the AVP would indicate that the OLR applies to the Origin-Host.

I support this approach. And of course, being me, I would like that AVP to contain the Diameter Identity of the client in question.

But I wonder--should this be limited to clients? Should it be possible for the server to bind an OLR to a particular _agent_? That is, some node on the message path that is not the Origin-Host? For adjacent agents, this is easy--the server only sends the OLR to that agent. But that won't work for non-adjacent agents.
