In the future, if more overload reports are needed for the same report type, e.g. for the same host but for different APNs, it should be up to the Diameter application where this is to be applied to define how to differentiate and use the multiple OC-OLR instances. One possible way could be to extend the report type with more types or values for such differentiation, as discussed previously, while there might be other ways e.g. with definition of new AVPs inside or outside OC-OLR AVP.

Okay, then I partially agree. But I think the rules for whether (and how) you allow multiple instances of the same report type should be per report type, rather than per application. I have trouble thinking of a situation where the rules for a given report type would be different between one application and another. (But I would welcome an example to change my mind :-)  )

Thanks!

Ben.
