Hello, One more comment below for clarification. It is fine to continue with then on .02 though. Cheers The Diameter Overload Information Conveyance (DOIC) mechanism allows Diameter nodes to request other nodes to perform overload abatement actions, that is, actions to reduce the load offered to the overloaded node. A Diameter node that supports DOIC is known as a "DOIC endpoint". Any Diameter node can act as a DOIC endpoint, including clients, servers, and agents. DOIC endpoints are further divided into "Reporting Nodes" and "Reacting Nodes." A reporting node requests overload abatement by sending an Overload Report (OLR) to one or more reacting nodes. A reacting node consumes OLRs, and performs whatever actions are needed to fulfill the requests. A Reporting node may report overload on its own behalf, or on behalf of other (typically upstream) nodes. Likewise, a reacting node may perform overload abatement on its own behalf, or on behalf of other (typically downstream) nodes. A node's role as a DOIC endpoint is independent of its Diameter role. For example, Diameter relay and proxy agents may act as DOIC endpoints, even though they are not endpoints in the Diameter sense. Since Diameter enables bi-directional applications, where Diameter servers can send requests towards Diameter clients, a given Diameter node can simultaneously act as a reporting node and reacting node. Likewise, an relay or proxy agent may act as a reacting node from the perspective of upstream nodes, and a reporting node from the perspective of downstream nodes. DOIC endpoints do not generate new messages to carry DOIC related information. Rather, they "piggyback" DOIC information over existing Diameter messages by inserting new AVPs into existing Diameter requests and responses. Nodes indicate support for DOIC, and any needed DOIC parameters by inserting an OC_Supported_Features AVP (Section 4.1) into existing requests and responses. Reporting nodes send OLRs by inserting OC-OLR AVPs. (Section 4.3) A given OLR applies to the Diameter realm and application of the Diameter message that carries it. If a reporting node supports more than one realm and/or application, it reports independently for each combination of realm and application. Similarly, OC-Feature-Vector AVPs apply to the realm and application of the enclosing message. This implies that a node may support DOIC for one application and/or realm, but not another, and may indicate different DOIC parameters for each application and realm for which it supports DOIC. Reacting nodes perform overload abatement according to an agreed-upon abatement algorithm. An abatement algorithm defines the meaning of the parameters of an OLR, and the procedures required for overload abatement. This document specifies a single must-support algorithm, namely the "loss" algorithm [ref?]. Future specifications may introduce new algorithms. Overload conditions may vary in scope. For example, a single Diameter node may be overloaded, in which case reacting nodes may reasonably attempt to send throttled requests to other destinations or via other agents. On the other hand, an entire Diameter realm may be overloaded, in which case such attempts would do harm. DOIC OLRs have a concept of "report type" (Section 4.6), where the type defines such behaviors. Report types are extensible. This document defines report types for overload of a specific server, and for overload of an entire realm. While a reporting node sends OLRs to "adjacent" reacting nodes, nodes that are "adjacent" for DOIC purposes may not be adjacent from a Diameter, or transport, perspective. [MCruz] Using the term "adjacent" is kind of misleading, even if you later explained precisely that. Above paragraph could be replaced by "Reacting and reporting nodes are not necessarily adjacent nodes" For example, one or more Diameter agents that do not support DOIC may exist between a given pair of reporting and reacting nodes, as long as those agents pass unknown AVPs through unmolested. The report types described in this document can safely pass through non-supporting agents. This may not be true for report types defined in future specifications. Documents that introduce new report types MUST describe any limitations on their use across non-supporting agents.
